On Witness and Respair

Zusatztext

Beginning with her upbringing in a multigenerational household in rural Mississippi, the cradle of her gift for storytelling, Ward brings her keen wisdom and hauntingly lyrical prose to a range of topics. Ward contemplates the writers and novels of her youth and adulthood, the transformative power of discovering Octavia Butler as a twenty-something, the mirror that Richard Wright's novels held up to her own childhood, and of course, her lifelong love for Toni Morrison.
