摘要
摘要:杰斯敏-沃德(Jesmyn Ward)原籍密西西比州德利斯尔海湾社区,她毫无保留地继承了南方黑人文学传统,将身为南方黑人的复杂现实展现得淋漓尽致。沃德是麦克阿瑟奖获得者,曾凭借小说《打捞骨头》(Salvage the Bones,2011 年)和《歌唱,不埋没,歌唱》(Sing, Unburied, Sing,2017 年)两度获得美国国家图书奖。她的作品体裁多样,包括小说、散文和回忆录《我们收割的男人》(Men We Reaped,2013 年)。在她的小说《让我们下山》(Let Us Descend,2023 年)出版之前,沃德接受了 Regina N. Bradley 的采访,她谈到了哥特式在书写黑人南方时的重要性,悲伤是她写作的核心,以及为什么写作能帮助她面对和理解密西西比动荡的种族历史。
Originally from the Gulf Coast community of DeLisle, Mississippi, Jesmyn Ward is unapologetically steeped in a southern Black literary tradition that amplifies the complicated realities of being Black in the South. Ward is a MacArthur Fellow and two-time National Book Award winner for her novels Salvage the Bones (2011) and Sing, Unburied, Sing (2017). She writes across a variety of genres, including fiction, essays, and a memoir, Men We Reaped (2013). In an interview with Regina N. Bradley ahead of the release of her novel Let Us Descend (2023), Ward discussed the importance of the Gothic in writing about the Black South, how grief is central to her writing, and why writing helps her confront and understand Mississippi's racially turbulent history.
期刊介绍:
In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
