RACE MATTERS - "Sing, Unburied, Sing"

"Jesmyn Ward's 'Sing, Unburied, Sing' is a ghost story about the real struggles of living" PBS NewsHour 10/27/2017

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  Award-winning author Jesmyn Ward writes the stories of the people and places she found absent in literature while growing up.  Her new fiction novel, “Sing, Unburied, Sing,” weaves the supernatural with genuine characters that are molded by the rural and poverty-stricken life in her Mississippi hometown.  Ward joins Jeffrey Brown to talk about her community and the stories that have come from it.
