InJesmyn Ward’sfirst novel since her National Book Award–winningSalvage The Bones, this singular American writer brings the archetypal road novel into rural twenty-first-century America."Sing establishes Ward as one of the most poetic writers in the conversation about America’s unfinished business in the black South."  -Adrienne Green, The AtlanticDrawing onMorrisonandFaulkner,The Odysseyand theOld Testament, Ward gives us an epochal story, a journey through Mississippi’s past and present that is both an intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle. Ward is a major American writer, multiply awarded and universally lauded, and inSing, Unburied, Singshe is at the height of her powers."Sing, Unburied, Sing is many things: a road novel, a slender epic of three generations and the ghosts that haunt them, and a portrait of what ordinary folk in dire circumstances cleave to as well as what they — and perhaps we all — are trying to outrun."-Tracy K. Smith, The New York Times Book ReviewSing, Unburied, Singgrapples with the ugly truths at the heart of the American story and the power, and limitations, of the bonds of family. Rich with Ward’s distinctive, musical language,Sing, Unburied, Singis a majestic new work and an essential contribution to American literature.Finalist for the 2017 Kirkus Prize For Fiction
