Description
Ordinary Notes by Christina Sharpe explores profound questions about loss and its impact on Black life. Through 248 carefully crafted notes, Sharpe weaves together personal reflections, historical artifacts, and present realities to create an immersive portrait of everyday Black existence. Sharpe's work is characterized by a nuanced exploration of the intersections between language, beauty, memory, history, art, photography, and literature. At its core, Ordinary Notes is a deeply personal and introspective work that honors the author's mother, Ida Wright Sharpe, while also summoning a chorus of voices and experiences to the page. By collecting entries from a community of thinkers and rigorously examining sites of memory and memorial, Sharpe forges a unique literary form that captures the complexities of Black being.
