Sing, Unburied, Sing
Sing, Unburied, Sing | Jesmyn Ward
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."

So glad this was my #doublespin and a #roll100, it‘s been on my shelf for ages and now that I‘ve read it I can‘t imagine why it didn‘t call to me sooner. This was brutal, but rich and beautiful and startlingly real. I definitely see why everyone raves about her writing! If anyone has suggestions on which of her books I should read next I‘d love that! @TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper

📗I started the tagged book yesterday.

📘Do you have any reading rituals for the solstice?
📗I always read something dedicated to solstice, but it‘s not the same thing each year.

📘Do you enjoy a different reading format at this time of year than your usual preference?
📗I tend towards a lot more children‘s books, rereads, and short stories than usual.

Happy publication day to Jesmyn Ward for her latest! I'm always about 5 years behind, so I just finished SUS. I'd heard it described as a road novel, and it technically is, but didn't feel like one. The journey matters less than the fact that the family must share tight quarters when they'd previously been drifting apart. I spent the whole novel concerned for them all: the entire novel is located on the brink of disaster.

Ruthiella Totally. That novel made me so tense! 😬 5mo

Billypar @Ruthiella @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Part of the suspense for me was due to how much I cared about the characters - they're all so well-drawn and nuanced. 5mo

Reggie The part where the grandma is dying always reminds of Poltergeist the movie. Also, Jojo, Kayla, and Pops. Hope they‘re still ok somewhere. 5mo
Billypar @Reggie Great comparison: that part surprised me. I like how Ward handles the ghosts and spiritual portions. They're legit ghosts, not mere literary devices. It was one of the things I liked about Beloved also. 5mo
Centique You summed it up so well! This was so good and in looking forward to her new one. I think its the Oprah pick too, so should get Ward lots of new readers. 5mo
Billypar @Centique I actually had no idea she was coming out with a new book until my Google feed alerted me to it after I finished this one. I'm pretty bad at paying attention to upcoming releases, but then it is a nice surprise when they happen 😀 5mo

#TitlesAndTunes #Blues
From the synopsis, SUS sounds like a road novel that is steeped in loss and haunted characters (maybe literally?). The perfect pairing with this Lurrie Bell album I picked up at a record shop recently. I'd never heard of Bell before, but his guitar riffs are a joy, the kind of blues that take you on a journey, which is perfect for an emotionally charged road novel. And it certainly channels its own ghosts of blues legends.

Billypar I chose the album opener - Givin' Me a Hard Time for the playlist: https://spotify.link/tO2khtN2hDb @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB 6mo
BarbaraBB I don‘t know the artist but your description is very attractive. Glad to add him to our playlist. 6mo

This book hurts to read. The amount of neglect the mother shows these children- it‘s difficult to push through to finish the book.

Then again, the love of the grandparents, the beauty in the storytelling, and the mystery made it worthwhile .

I haven‘t ever read addiction written in quite this way. Kind of devastating.

CaitlinR Loved the book, but you‘re right about it being painful. Did you read the earlier, Salvage The Bones? 13mo
Soubhiville @CaitlynR yes that‘s my favorite by her. This was the last I hadn‘t read yet. 13mo
TheBookHippie It was a true picture of what I‘ve seen over and over sadly … thus reminded me so much of a situation I had with a child I mentored I could hardly read it. It‘s a necessary read for sure. 13mo

Another that I had to stick with past the first 30m or so to get pulled in (and also shifting perspectives). This is some great poetic writing! And while I appreciate the reviews that it is sad, I see a hope here and the story of the inevitable return that everyone will make. Waters to waters.

Two more excellent short stories by well-known authors.

"A Wild Rose" is about a pianist whose fingers start giving her trouble. She takes up residence in a studio apartment above Carnegie Hall. I love how Fiona Davis always introduces readers to hidden spots in well-known places.

"Mother Swamp" is an excellent story about a hidden community built by women escaping slavery. Very powerful.

I have enjoyed this short story collection immensely

Overall, a good book. Not an easy read by any means though. Recommended by my high schooler who read it in class. Lots of symbolism, historical context, social commentary, and deeper meanings. I can see why an English teacher would choose it.

Very different sort of novel. About a black family and a road trip to pick up a father from prison. Has a couple of ghosts as characters and tragedies of the present and past. Poetic writing and kind of a dark story. I'll try to read more by the author.

The thoughts of the ghosts (theoretical or not) we encounter every day haunted me while I watched the news those weeks.
