This year’s Book Bridge Project selection, “If I Survive You” by Jonathan Escoffery, is an award-winning and nationally celebrated book that earned recognition across the literary world, including finalist honors for the 2023 Booker Prize.
“If I Survive You” is a collection of interconnected stories that follows a Jamaican family seeking opportunity in Miami. Through the experiences of Trelawny, the youngest son, the book explores identity, belonging, racism, economic survival, and the search for personal direction in a world shaped by shifting cultural expectations.
