Pressestimmen
[A] torrential, sorrowing tribute to five young black men . . . Ward tells their stories with tenderness and reverence; they live again in these pages. . . . This work of great grief and beauty renders them individual and irreplaceable. (New York Times, 50 Best Memoirs)Men We Reaped reaffirms Ms. Ward's substantial talent. It's an elegiac book that's rangy at the same time. She thinks back about her brother, and about her old dead friends, and about their nighttime adventures in cars. Then she declares, 'I don't ride with anyone like that anymore.' (Dwight Garner, New York Times)Jesmyn Ward left her Gulf Coast home for education and experience, but it called her back. It called on her in most painful ways, to mourn. In Men We Reaped, Jesmyn unburies her dead, that they may live again. And through this emotional excavation, she forces us to see the problems of place and race that led these men to their early graves. Full of beauty, love, and dignity, Men We Reaped is a haunting and essential read. (Natasha Trethewey, US Poet Laureate , author of THRALL and NATIVE GUARD, winner of the Pulitizer Prize)An assured yet scarifying memoir by young, supremely gifted novelist [Jesmyn] Ward... With more gumption than many, Ward battled not only the indifferent odds of rural poverty, but also the endless racism of her classmates... A modern rejoinder to Black Like Me, Beloved and other stories of struggle and redemption - beautifully written, if sometimes too sad to bear. (Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 2013-05-01)Jesmyn Ward is simply sui generis. I am reminded of Miles Davis' quote: 'Don't play what's there, play what's not here,' after reading her memoir Men We Reaped. This is one might virtuosic, bluesy hymn. Beautiful. (Oscar Hijuelos, author of THOUGHTS WITHOUT CIGARETTES)Jesmyn Ward is an alchemist. She transmutes pain and loss into gold. Men We Reaped illustrates hardships but thankfully, vitally, it's just as clear about the humor, the intelligence, the tenderness, the brilliance of the folks in DeLisle, Mississippi. A community that's usually wiped off the literary map can't be erased when it's in a book this good. (Victor LaValle, author of THE DEVIL IN SILVER)Men We Reaped is a fiercely felt meditation on the value of life that at once reminds us of its infinite worth and indicts us - as a society - for our selective, casual complicity in devaluing it. Ward's account of these losses is founded in a compelling emotional honesty, and graced with moments of stark poetry. (Peter Ho Davies, author of THE WELSH GIRL)Jesmyn Ward returns to the world of her first two books, but here in the mode of non-fiction. A clear-eyed witness to the harrowing stories of 'men we reaped,' she quickens the dead and brings them, vividly alive again. An eloquent, grief-steeped account. (Nicholas Delbanco, author of LASTINGNESS: The Art of Old Age)Jesmyn Ward's memoir is a miracle. In it, she writes with such clarity and beauty that her discoveries and revelations could very well change the way her readers understand the world. She also makes the unbearable nearly bearable with her poetic prose and her life-affirming passion. This is fierce, brave exploration, but it is also art - timeless, universal, and unrelentingly inspired. (Laura Kasischke, author of THE RAISING)This is a beautifully written homage, with a pathos and understanding that come from being a part of the culture described. (Booklist)

Excellent book describing today's situation in the South with no holes barred. Terrific writer. Very personal. Very discouraging to realize how slow things have gone for our fellow countrymen...
Jesmyn Ward is a literary alchemist. She has woven the lives/deaths of 5 young black men, together with her own memories of growing up among them, and applied her skills as a writer to elevate pain, poverty, racism, drugs, alcohol and a lack of meaningful employment for most of her contemporaries, particularly the men - to elevate all these tragic consequences of segregation and slavery - into a kind of universal tragedy, which nevertheless feels redemptive because of the telling of it. And the how of the telling.I spent much of the tail end of this book weeping. For its sadness. For its depth. For the courage to face and write so many painful truths. For the beauty of her prose, the stark honesty in revealing so much of herself, her love and grief for those cut down so young. For the wisdom and strength of black women struggling to raise children under such conditions. For the human wreckage this nation permits. For this woman, rising up to memorialize searing and painful truths.I cannot forget this book. As a writer Ms. Ward is the Hilary Mantel of Mississippi. Someone who has transformed her own personal pain into exquisite prose. Someone fearless in writing about emotions, deeply understanding of her characters, honest yet sympathetic in portraying things which might be unspeakable under most circumstances, but which in her hands become cathartic, almost religious, even when most terrible.She is my new favorite writer. And I’m just sorry that at 73, there are only so many more of her future books I’ll live to read.
I am 70 years old, grew up in a very integrated northern urban community. I thought I knew something about race, but Jesmyn Ward and her memoir proved to me that I knew nothing. Now, I know just a little, and I thank her. If you want to know a little, read this book.
This book was very well written, and I think it's an important and easy to read representation of being poor and Black in the south. I have to be honest, it was really hard for me to read this, it has a lot of tragedy surrounding racism and income inequality has put Black people in Mississippi in a terrible situation, and how difficult it is to get out of. You're probably going to cry, but you're also going to learn a lot about the way people in our own country live, how awful it is, and how important it is that we advocate for change.
This memoir inspires deep empathy and cracks a window onto the experience of rural, black poverty. This isn't a scholarly overview of the problems young black people face, it's an emotional overview that captures and transmits the frustrated hopelessness and grief that crests when Ward loses yet another friend or family member.
So many "memoirs" seem to be self-aggrandizement that it is refreshing to read one that feels like it comes straight from the heart, and moreover one that feels like it had to be written. I got the sense at times that Jesmyn Ward didn't want to write this, didn't want to revisit the pain of losing so many friends and relatives, and didn't want to share her times of grief and self-destruction. But she was compelled to do so. Her brother's story, and her deep, deep love for this young man brought tears to my eyes. I wished he hadn't died, too.This book is so genuine, so unflinching in the telling of her story, it can't help but touch the reader. She opens a door that has remained closed to most of us (the private lives of impoverished, black Mississippians living in rural areas and small town). It's through testaments such as this one, that we can recognize ourselves in others, see how we share common human experiences no matter our backgrounds or origins and learn how to bridge the wide waters that have separated us.I'd already read Salvage the Bones and Sing, Unburied, Sing before this book, and I can see the shape of these books in her own experiences growing up. I strongly recommend this book and the two I just mentioned.
