Pomegranate
By Helen Elaine Lee, professor in comparative media studies/writing
Atria Books · 2023
This novel from Helen Elaine Lee focuses on a queer Black woman working to stay clean, pull her life together, and heal after being released from prison. In lyrical and precise prose, Lee paints a humane and unflinching portrait of the devastating effects of incarceration and addiction, and of one woman's determination to tell her story.
From Summer 2023 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
