Where the Line Bleeds by Jesmyn Ward
The first novel from two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward, a timeless Southern fable of brotherly love and familial conflict
One of the most important writers in America today -- Ann Patchett
A writer of such lyric imagination * New York Times Book Review *
The voices, relationships and histories of [Ward's] characters feel wholly true.. Long after the end, we continue to worry after them, love them in spite of their faults, and feel their pain * Spectator *
The heir to Faulkner * Time *
A lyrical yet clear-eyed portrait of a rural South and an African-American reality that are rarely depicted * Boston Globe *
An important new voice of the American South – one developing, perhaps, into the twenty-first-century's answer to William Faulkner * Times Literary Supplement *
Ward takes the territory made so familiar by writers such as William Faulkner and Eudora Welty, and reclaims it * Financial Times *
