Join the Racialized Identities Awareness (RIA) Book Group on Friday, October 2nd, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM as we come together to discuss Jesmyn Ward’s acclaimed novel, Sing, Unburied, Sing (2017). We offer a hybrid format so everyone can participate: meet us in Room 321 or join online. About the Book In Jesmyn Ward’s powerful novel—her first following the National Book Award–winning Salvage the Bones—one of contemporary literature's most singular voices reimagines the archetypal American road novel for the rural twenty-first century. Drawing rich inspiration from Toni Morrison, William Faulkner, The Odyssey, and the Old Testament, Ward weaves an epochal journey through Mississippi’s past and present. The result is both an intimate portrait of a family navigating grief and love, and a sweeping, epic tale of hope, history, and struggle. Universal in scope and universally lauded, Sing, Unburied, Sing showcases a major American writer at the height of her creative powers. Event Details
