The Celebrants

The book balances lighthearted moments with deep emotional truths, which can be tricky. What inspired the choice to approach such heavy themes with humor?

The rituals and celebrations felt so genuine and heartfelt. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or observations about how we commemorate those we've lost.

It gave a richer view of the community, but I’m curious if this structure was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
