Overview
WHITE LUNG moves in and out of dream space to explore women's silences and the ways those silences intersect with the current American political climate. Covering topics like gun violence, mass shootings, police brutality, abortion, misogyny, and the death penalty, WHITE LUNG's white, female speaker, in a variety of forms and identities, describes how her Southern family's history of racism contributed to her own silences throughout her childhood and beyond. The book also deals with the 2014 execution of Clayton Lockett, who was the author's husband's legal client and friend. Both an attempt to speak truth and an experiment in radical empathy, WHITE LUNG is a love letter to the same people and culture it interrogates.
