Description

This “inventive, poetic, vulnerable, and sincere” book from an acclaimed author and poet weaves two wrenching personal narratives of recovery and reclamation, spliced with a dazzle of pop-culture (Kirkus). The Dead Don’t Need Reminding is a braided story of Julian Randall’s return from the cliff edge of a harrowing depression and his determination to retrace the hustle of a white-passing grandfather to the Mississippi town from which he was driven amid threats of tar and feather. Alternatively wry, lyrical, and heartfelt, Randall transforms pop culture moments into deeply personal explorations of grief, family, and the American way. He envisions his fight to stay alive through a striking medley of media ranging from Into the Spiderverse and Jordan Peele movies to BoJack Horseman and the music of Odd Future. Pulsing with life, sharp, and wickedly funny, The Dead Don’t Need Reminding is Randall’s journey to get his ghost story back. Read more

  • Julian David Randall IS a Voice for His Generation
Read. This. Book.
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2024 by J L R - 2Rise Publishing

  • A beautiful collection
This is essay collection is impossible to really review for me but I will say there are concepts he articulates in such a way that will stay with me forever. His poet’s gift for language was on stunning display throughout and the connections to pop culture helped make some essays feel truly universal even through the personal. ... show more

  • Too early.
It is a little to early for a twenty-year-old man to write an autobiography. Though the writing is well done the book lacks the substance of an older person's life experience. Much here is written about television show, movies and song lyrics that have been meaningful to Randall. Awarded for his poetry, here he gives some focus to his bouts of depression over the years and a trip to Mississippi to unearth some of his family heritage. The book is somewhat shallow questing to be more profound than it is. BoJack Horseman? ... show more
