JCO: grief

Hello Everybody,
I am writing on the subject of grief and JCO again. I have read a little about Black Girl/White Girl, including some excerpts, but I have not yet read the book itself. Clearly Genna grieves for her roommate and wonders about the justice of death, and the strangeness of its choices.  I wonder, however, if those who have read the book would care to comment about how important this theme is in this particular work and how it is handled.

I think that JCO is such a powerful and sensitive writer that whatever subject she decides to write about - it becomes deep and multidimensional but it still may be just a footnote in the book.

Anybody?

Thanks,
Marie
