愛是一種本能。2011年美國國家圖書獎得獎小說。十年內，兩度榮獲美國國家圖書獎，包括《黑鳥不哭》。2022年，潔思敏‧沃德獲頒美國國會圖書館文學終身成就獎。「潔思敏‧沃德的小說量少質精，每每出手，無不直抵靈魂至深痛處。」──連明偉／專文推薦一場颶風在墨西哥灣上集結，眼看就要直撲密西西比州的海灣小鎮，令愛西的父親愈來愈擔憂，有嚴重酗酒問題的他，成天都在茫，大小事早就懶得去管。愛西和她的三個兄弟正忙著儲備食物，但家裡吃的東西並不多。近來，愛西的食量有增無減，畢竟她才十五歲，而且還懷孕了。二哥噴子則是將殘羹剩飯都留著餵他的鬥犬，最近剛生一窩狗崽，卻一隻接一隻死去。至於大哥藍道爾和小弟細仔，也在種種匱乏中修補自己的童年和青春歲月。全書架構在風災前後十二天的過程，直到重創後的驚人啟示。一個難忘的家庭，一群因母親死於難產而失恃的孩子們，寧為手足犧牲，在愛的荒蕪中拚命保護、滋養彼此，振作起來面對明天。這是一部慈悲的小說，它刻劃著家人甚至鄰人們，如何憑著愛去克服生活中的各種苦難，卻也真實地揭露底層家庭生活的無助、困厄和別無選擇，讀來教人肝腸寸斷。「倘若書寫我的家族是我的責任，我需要無情的敘事，我不能磨平角色的銳角、愛上他們、放過他們。生活不會放過我們。」──潔思敏‧沃德全書以一隻母狗的分娩驚人開場，過程就像戰鬥。狗全身滑順潔白，故命名為「瓷器」。素有福克納與童妮‧莫里森接班人美譽，沃德的文字能量豐沛、滔滔不絕，繚繞成強大的咒語渦流，逐步帶領讀者逼近故事核心。2005年8月，當卡崔娜颶風重創墨西哥灣沿岸時，沃德被迫撤離被洪水淹沒的家。作者藉由筆下這個必須帶著愛犬逃生的美國黑人家庭，從飽受匱乏和創傷而撕裂的家庭風暴，到摧毀無數家園的浩劫風暴，從真實災難連結到神話寓言，創造出具有普世價值、悲天憫人的故事。一部充滿詩意、啟示性且真實的小說傑作。在匱乏中野蠻生長，在災難中毀滅重生。《蠻骨猶存》這部小說不僅是她生命中不可跳過的故事，更是今日美國及至世界文壇不容跳過的故事。即使不公平即使廢墟一片，潔思敏‧沃德仍堅持在新世紀的密西西比州持續書寫她的家族故事，而這個「家族」也成為無數人心靈的避風港。當瓷器舔起自己剛生下的狗崽時，那是愛西從未見過的溫柔──從鬥性到母性，都是生存必須。當故事落幕，書中每回出現都不禁令人心搏躍動的瓷器，教人忍不住頻頻回望。「孕育生命就是明白啥麼東西值得一戰，明白啥麼是愛。

A hurricane is building over the Gulf of Mexico, threatening the coastal town of Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, and Esch's father is growing concerned. He's a hard drinker, largely absent, and it isn't often he worries about the family. Esch and her three brothers are stockpiling food, but there isn't much to save.Lately, Esch can't keep down what food she gets; at fifteen, she has just realized that she's pregnant. Her brother Skeetah is sneaking scraps for his prized pit bull's new litter, dying one by one. Meanwhile, brothers Randall and Junior try to stake their claim in a family long on child's play and short on parenting.As the twelve days that make up the novel's framework yield to a dramatic conclusion, this unforgettable family - motherless children sacrificing for one another as they can, protecting and nurturing where love is scarce - pulls itself up to face another day.
