評分一段公路旅程,一段令人顫栗的Parchman監獄曆史,一個傢庭三代人和與之相伴鬼魂的故事。Ward用充滿感情的語言和輕鬆自如的掌控力帶我們試圖理解一段不能被掩蓋的曆史,和傢這個概念能給人帶來的力量,給予紐帶和歸屬的同時,也有無可奈何的局限性。因為有些東西需要超過個人,超越傢庭的力量,需要我們全人類的認知、勉勵、堅持和拼搏。全書很大的一個亮點是毫不突兀、卻又無比重要的鬼魂的故事,它讓我思考曆史和個人的關係:其實我們每個人都承載一段曆史,即使一段看似僅關係個人卻從不獨立的傢庭史,因為: "We carry family history inside us like ghosts.“

A searing and profound Southern odyssey by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward.
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. Drawing on Morrison and Faulkner, The Odyssey and the Old 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 in Sing, Unburied, Sing she is at the height of her powers.
Jojo and his toddler sister, Kayla, live with their grandparents, Mam and Pop, and the occasional presence of their drug-addicted mother, Leonie, on a farm on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Leonie is simultaneously tormented and comforted by visions of her dead brother, which only come to her when she’s high; Mam is dying of cancer; and quiet, steady Pop tries to run the household and teach Jojo how to be a man. When the white father of Leonie’s children is released from prison, she packs her kids and a friend into her car and sets out across the state for Parchman farm, the Mississippi State Penitentiary, on a journey rife with danger and promise.
Sing, Unburied, Sing grapples 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, Sing is a majestic new work and an essential contribution to American literature.
