review 1: I really liked this book. There were moments when I realized Ward's writing had transported me to a hot Gulf Coast summer. I don't get to encounter Black young men, like the protagonists of this , as full characters, front and center, in enough of the books I read. I couldn't help but think of Baldwin, Wright, or Ellison. However, this may have more to do with my own limits in what I have chosen to read, than what fiction with African American male main characters is available. Either way I am so glad I got to read this book, and be with Chris and Joshua this summer.
review 2: Jesmyn Ward has a way with words. Her books pull you in to a time, a place, a family. Where the Line Bleeds is no exception. She writes in a way that makes you understand her chara... morecters, that makes you care about their plight. You do not need to be from poor, rural Southern America to get a taste of it from her books. The flavor leaps off the pages and into your mouth ... and there's no getting rid of the taste once you've tried it. less
