Jesmyn Ward’s powerful new novel, ‘Sing, Unburied, Sing’

A young, relatively unknown writer in the state of Mississippi announced "bone relief" six years ago. The novel depicts a poor African-American family attacked by Hurricane Katrina. From a small start, I will continue "to save bones"

"Read Sing, Unburied, Sing of Jesmyn Ward, you will feel the enormous power you need to stand up to it - and the enormous power you need to stand up against it.This novel is a hot and urgent reading Yes, anyone who has ghosts in the past can easily calm down.In this political era, it is difficult to imagine more necessary books. "

Through Jesmyn Ward's three rounds of Sing, Unburied, and Sing, I have noticed that I am still enjoying and still digesting. On the surface, this book is a view of an award-winning novelist about "sixth novel" road novels developed in the role of travel. But Word's efforts are far beyond this. In Mississippi delta, this is a whirlwind that can dig down the pain and joy of generations of blacks. This is a story of a ghost that enters the area of ​​ghosts with Voodoo. The main character JoJo grew up through a family trauma in the southern part of the United States. However, Sing, Unburied, Sing, like the best adult novel, is familiar to all readers.

The ghost sits on a chair, takes a car, and talks to the veil character in Jesmyn Ward's novel "Sing, Unburied, Sing". However, members of this family are absorbing the trembling caused by homicide and drugs, and the tragic view of this restlessness is not tragic. Since Caucasians have always dominated the resources and laws of the coastal area of ​​Mississippi, the color determines the fate of pop and mum, their daughters and their mixed-grandchild grandchildren. Their promising son was killed by a calm racist, and Popper is still in the infamous Parkman Farm Prison (a 1996 non-fiction book inspiring David M. Osinski) An even worse place for slavery that helps young people traumatize over time.

In his comments on Jesmyn Ward's Sing, Unburied, Sing, Muhammad, this article is linked to other articles and explained it as "parable parable as a mechanism of racial discrimination" It is. In addition, Muhammad pointed out how women used farms instead of prisons as a place of ethnic trauma, like Toni Morrison's beloved Sweet Home. I think the focus of novelists and critics is very close. There is no life in the past, life is impossible now. Sorrow can be done by talking about the official history. A story to solve common pain - in case it does not exceed it. "
