Winner of the National Book Award
A New York Times bestseller
Jesmyn Ward brings the archetypal road novel into rural twenty-first-century America in this intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle. When thirteen-year-old Jojo’s father is released from prison, his mother packs the family into a car and drives north to Parchman Farm, the State Penitentiary at the heart of Mississippi. At Parchman, Jojo encounters another thirteen-year-old boy, a specter who wanders the prison and carries with him the ugly history of the South—and a resounding lesson for Jojo about fathers and sons, legacies, violence, and love.
Sing, Unburied, Sing journeys through Mississippi’s past and present, delivering an enduring, exquisite portrait of the ugly truths at the heart of the American story and how they both gnarl, and strengthen, family bonds.
