Jesmyn Ward wins the 2017 National Book Award for Fiction
Jesmyn Ward made history when she became the first woman to win two National Book Awards for Fiction. This past week she received the award for her latest novel
Sing, Unburied, Sing and first won in 2011 for her novel
Salvage the Bones. She visited Square Books for a signing with both books and was the University of Mississippi's Grisham Writer in Residence in 2010-2011.
As a native of DeLisle, Mississippi, Ward continues the tradition of Mississippi literature.
Sing, Unburied, Sing depicts a rural African American family in south Mississippi. Rich with Ward's distinctive, lyrical language,
Sing, Unburied, Sing is a majestic new work
and an unforgettable family story. We have signed first editions
available here.
