Are We There Yet? | Jesmyn Ward | A Word on Words | NPT

On road trips: "It allows me to keep the characters in a confined space for a fair amount of time...And then it also allows me to move them through the landscape of Mississippi." VERY SERIOUS WRITER and 2017 National Book Award Finalist Jesmyn Ward talks to host Mary Laura Philpott about "Sing, Unburied, Sing" on NPT's A WORD ON WORDS.
