And God Laughs – Amaud Jamaul Johnson

Amaud Jamaul Johnson is the author of Darktown Follies, Red Summer,
and Imperial Liquor. In this essay, Amaud explores the loneliness
and fear that arise in the wake of inexplicable tragedy where
personal losses highlight histories of suffering and the deep
uncertainties of our time. This fact has always been true, but
feels more so in the midst of a pandemic, massive job losses, food
insecurity, climate chaos, and the national uprisings provoked by
ongoing racial injustice and police brutality in the US. Learn more
