Jesmyn Ward will join Dean Nelson for an interview as part of the 2025 Writer's Symposium by the Sea, Writing That Redeems.
Jesmyn Ward has been hailed as the standout writer of her generation, proving her “fearless and toughly lyrical” voice in novels, memoir, and nonfiction. Betsy Burton of the American Booksellers Association has called her “the new Toni Morrison.” Ward is a MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient and in 2017, she became the first woman and the first person of color to win two National Book Awards for Fiction—joining the ranks of William Faulkner, Saul Bellow, John Cheever, Philip Roth, and John Updike. Her books include "Let Us Descend," "Sing Unburied, Sing," "Salvage the Bones," and "Navigate Your Stars."
Included in the ticket is live music to begin at 6:15, when doors open for general admission seating.
The 30th Anniversary Writer's Symposium by the Sea will be Feb. 24-26, 2025, also featuring award-winning writers Sandra Cisneros and Mitch Albom. For more info, visit here: https://www.pointloma.edu/2025writers.
