Sequoia Nagamatsu Explores the Full Spectrum of Grief

At the Star Tribune, Sequoia Nagamatsu discusses his debut novel, How High We Go in the Dark, which explores what happens when a virus is unleashed on the planet. Surprisingly, the book does contain moments of humor amid the darkness. “When you’re talking about a tragic event or having lost somebody,” Nagamatsu explains, “you’re going to cry but you’re also going to laugh. I wanted to acknowledge that the full spectrum of emotions is going to be there.”
