Über diesen Titel

Bloomsbury presents Navigate Your Stars written and read by Jesmyn Ward.

As an adult, I learned this: persist. Work hard.

Face rejection, weather the setbacks, until you meet the gatekeeper who will open a door for you.

Jesmyn Ward grew up in a poor, rural community in Mississippi. Today, as the first woman to win the National Book Award twice, she is celebrated as one of America’s greatest living writers.

Navigate Your Stars is a stirring reflection on the value of hard work and the importance of respect for oneself and others. First delivered as a 2018 commencement address at Tulane University, it captures Ward’s inimitable voice as she reflects on her experiences as a Southern black woman, addressing the themes of grit, adversity and the importance of family bonds.

This is a meditative and profound book that will inspire all readers preparing for the next chapter in their lives.

Kritikerstimmen

Blazing with power, grief and tenderness. Ward takes the territory made so familiar by writers such as William Faulkner or Eudora Welty, and reclaims it (Praise for 'Sing, Unburied, Sing')
Ward is a lyrical, visceral storyteller, one who is as adept at conveying the tenderness of sibling love as the terror and brutality of racist violence (Praise for 'Sing, Unburied, Sing')
