Description
In Brandon Hobson's National Book Award finalist novel, *The Removed*, the Echota family grapples with the enduring grief and trauma of losing their son, Ray-Ray, to a "bad shoot." Steeped in Cherokee myths and history, the narrative seamlessly blends the real and the spiritual, exploring the profound reverberations of loss across generations. As they prepare to commemorate Ray-Ray's death, the family confronts not only their personal sorrow but also the ancestral trauma of forced removal. Hobson masterfully excavates themes of family, home, and the potent power of stories, creating a deeply resonant meditation on the thin veil between the living and the dead.
