Jesmyn Ward Book Discussion

In advance of Jesmyn Ward’s visit to campus on March 20, join us for a book discussion of Sing, Unburied, Sing at 12:30 on March 15 in LIB 043. Copies of the novel are available at the Library Circulation Desk (first come, first served) and an electronic version.

Ward is a two time winner of the National Book Award for her novels Salvage the Bones and Sing, Unburied, Sing, both set in a fictional Mississippi Gulf town of Bois Sauvage. Her recently released fourth novel, Let Us Descend takes readers on the journey, both geographic and spiritual, of a young enslaved girl, Annis, as she is sold from the Carolinas to Louisina.

Whether you have read all of Ward’s books or just started Sing, Unburied, Sing join us for snacks and sharing thoughts on this searing and lyrical novel.

Her talk on  campus is Wednesday, March 20 at 6:30  in the Watkins Room in the Trone Student Center and is open to the public.
