Thinking About Fiction and History After Historiographic Metafiction

The Return of the Historical Novel?

&ldquo;If Sing, Unburied, Sing is proof of anything, it&rsquo;s that when it comes to spinning poetic tales of love and family, and the social metastasis that often takes place but goes unspoken of in marginalized communities&mdash;let alone the black American South&mdash;Jesmyn Ward is, by far, the best doing it today. Another masterpiece.&rdquo; &mdash;Jason Reynolds, author of Ghost "The connection between the injustices of the past and the desperation of present are clearly drawn in&nbsp;Sing, Unburied, Sing, a book that charts the lines between the living and the dead, the loving and the broken. I am a huge fan of Jesmyn Ward&rsquo;s work, and this book proves that she is one of the most important writers in America today." &mdash;Ann Patchett, author of Commonwealth &ldquo;Sing, Unburied, Sing is a road novel turned on its head, and a family story with its feet to the fire. Lyric and devastating, Ward&#39;s unforgettable characters straddle past and present in this spellbinding return to the rural Mississippi of her first book.&nbsp; You&#39;ll never read anything like it.&rdquo; &mdash;Ayana Mathis, author of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie &ldquo;Read Jesmyn Ward&rsquo;s Sing, Unburied, Sing and you&rsquo;ll feel the immense weight of history&mdash;and the immense strength it takes to persevere in the face of it. This novel is a searing, urgent read for anyone who thinks the shadows of slavery and Jim Crow have passed, and anyone who assumes the ghosts of the past are easy to placate. It&rsquo;s hard to imagine a more necessary book for this political era.&rdquo; &mdash;Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told You

&ldquo;[Sarah Ruden] has clearly thought deeply about what Augustine was trying to say.&rdquo;&mdash;The&#160;Wall Street Journal&ldquo;A translation of [Augustine&rsquo;s] masterwork that does justice both to him and to his God . . . Repeated small acts of attention to the humble, human roots of Augustine&rsquo;s imagery of his relations to God enable Ruden to convey a living sense of the Being before Whom we find him transfixed in prayer: &lsquo;Silent, long-suffering and with so much mercy in your heart.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Review of Books&ldquo;Delightfully readable . . . In this lively translation filled with vivid, personal prose, Ruden introduces readers to a saint whom many will realize they only thought they knew. . . . Approaching her subject with deep religious and historical knowledge, [Ruden] chooses to translate Augustine as a performative, engaging storyteller rather than a systematic theologian.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;(starred review)&ldquo;Ruden&rsquo;s translation makes Augustine&rsquo;s ancient text accessible to a new generation of readers with a real taste of the original Latin.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;[Ruden&rsquo;s] record as a translator of ancient texts . . . clearly establishes her considerable talent.&rdquo;&mdash;Christianity TodayPraise for Sarah Ruden &#160; &ldquo;Ruden&rsquo;s work emphasizes the complexity inherent in translation; she lingers on some of the most challenging concepts and explicates the historical and linguistic context for her work, debunking both myths and poor prior interpretations.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review), on The Face of Water &#160; &ldquo;The best translation yet, certainly the best of our time.&rdquo;&mdash;Ursula K. Le Guin, on The Aeneid &#160; &ldquo;An Aeneid more intimate in tone and soberer in measure than we are used to&mdash;a gift for which many will be grateful.&rdquo;&mdash;J. M. Coetzee, on The Aeneid

This is a capacious, clear, and revolutionary text that will bring readers who are just starting to learn about feminist philosophy as well as those who have been around a long time. This book does an excellent job in communicating the value of the anarchic, especially in its resistance to the leader, and its thoroughgoing affirmation of the value of freedom. This freedom is not a narrow idea of personal liberty, but an entire mode of transforming the world. We learn as well about a 
‘transindividualism’ which allows us a way to rethink global solidarity for our times.
