Fi: A Memoir of My Son
by Alexandra Fuller
☆ Finalist for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Memoir or Autobiography
Alexandra Fuller's elegaic memoir records the horrifying months that follow the sudden, inexplicable death of her 21-year-old son. But through it all, says the New York Times, her wit is "soul-piercing. It’s part of what saves Fuller, and it saves the reader as we move through the stages of her loss and grief to a kind of acceptance." It is "a mesmeric celebration of a boy who died too soon, a mother’s love and her resilience."
