WINNER of the NATIONAL BOOK AWARD and A NEW YORK TIMES
TOP 10 BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR. Jojo is thirteen years old and
trying to understand what it means to be a man. He doesn’t lack
in fathers to study, chief among them his Black grandfather,
Pop. But there are other men who complicate his understanding:
his absent White father, Michael, who is being released from
prison; his absent White grandfather, Big Joseph, who won’t
acknowledge his existence; and the memories of his dead uncle,
Given, who died as a teenager. Rich with Ward’s distinctive,
lyrical language, Sing, Unburied, Sing is a majestic and
unforgettable family story and “an odyssey through rural
Mississippi’s past and present” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).
Characters: 34. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
