Summary
Critic reviews
"A taut, wily novel, smartly plotted and voluptuously written. It feels fresh and urgent, but it’s an ancient, archetypal tale.... Jesmyn Ward makes beautiful music, plays deftly with her reader’s expectations." (Parul Sehgal, New York Times Book Review)
"Ward tells the story with a tense patience, marking day after day; when the storm comes, overturning everything, it feels like a fatal relief. At least the waiting’s over. Salvage the Bones expands our understanding of Katrina’s devastation, beyond the pictures of choked rooftops in New Orleans and toward the washed-out, feral landscapes elsewhere along the coast." (New Yorker)
"There's something of Faulkner to Ward's grand diction, which rolls between teenspeak...and the larger, incantatory rhythms of myth. She's fearless about her passion coming out purple, and for the most part the intensity of her story carries it off." (The Paris Review)
