Jojo is thirteen years old and trying to understand what it means to be a man. An intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle, Sing, Unburied, Sing journeys through Mississippi’s past and present, examining the ugly truths at the heart of the American story and the power-and limitations-of family bonds. In Jesmyn Ward’s first novel since her National Book Award–winning Salvage the Bones, this singular American writer brings the archetypal road novel into rural twenty-first-century America. “The heart of Jesmyn Ward’s Sing, Unburied, Sing is story-the yearning for a narrative to help us understand ourselves, the pain of the gaps we’ll never fill, the truths that are failed by words and must be translated through ritual and song.Ward’s writing throbs with life, grief, and love, and this book is the kind that makes you ache to return to it.” - Buzzfeed *Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award ![]() ![]() *Finalist for the Aspen Words Literary Prize *A TIME MAGAZINE BEST NOVEL OF THE YEAR and A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 OF 2017 *WINNER of the NATIONAL BOOK AWARD for FICTION ![]()
