If you want someone to break your heart, Jesmyn Ward should be the one to do it. As someone intimately familiar with grief, her stories give voice to the forlorn, strength to the hopeless. In this episode, we talk about her short story Cattle Haul, which follows Reese, a trucker, as he drives a truck of cows across the country. In this episode we explore the complex relationship of Reese with his father, his past and himself.
