The long-anticipated sequel to Sister Souljah’s million copy New York Times best seller The Coldest Winter Ever. The novelist’s critiques are interpersonal as well as societal.Instant Number One New York Times Best Seller Even in her condemnation of Winter’s actions, Sister Souljah-both the actual author and the character in the book-addresses the larger injustices affecting people who live in similar environments. Life After Death presents an opportunity to more thoroughly consider literature of its kind-for those of us who first became acquainted with Winter as teens, and for a publishing industry that still doesn’t quite understand characters like her. Though Life After Death doesn’t take place on the literal streets of Brooklyn, the sequel joins its predecessor-and the rest of Sister Souljah’s work-in illuminating both the glamour and the danger of urban life. The second novel follows Winter to a temptation-packed purgatory where she must surrender the avarice, lust, and ego that have defined her existence. In Life After Death, published last week, Sister Souljah continues to explore the vices that ensnare Winter and materialistic young people like her. Now, 22 years later, a new sequel finds Winter ready to reclaim the life that should have been hers all along-but not without facing unexpected hurdles.
