Since releasing her beautifully wrought novel What We Lose, Zinzi Clemmons has earned a chorus of praise from the likes of Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire and Vogue, which hailed it as 2017’s debut novel of the year. It tells the story of a young woman dealing with the loss of a parent while coming to terms with issues of race, sex and love. Glory Edim speaks with an exciting new talent about her loosely autobiographical exorcism of grief.
