Ripple & Snap
One horrible tragedy in a high school gym that could have easily been taken as the next news story in this nation’s culture of violence is the setting for Laura McCullough’s compelling and inventive Ripple & Snap which not only looks unflinchingly at gun violence through the souls it most nearly destroys, but also at protection as metaphor—what does it mean to have it?
