The Resource Ward, Jesmyn

Description: National Book Award-winner Jesmyn Ward writes character-driven literary fiction often set in small towns on the Mississippi Gulf coast, pre- and post-Hurricane Katrina. Her stylistically complex work follows the lives of poor families facing disaster from within and without. The resulting bleak, moving Southern-inflected tales carry a sobering resonance no matter where one lives. Ward's autobiographical nonfiction is equally as lyrical and sobering, chronicling the tragic fates of the men in the author's young life while describing the soul-crushing effects of poverty and racism. Start with: Salvage the Bones (Fiction); Men We Reaped (Nonfiction)
