Jesmyn Ward Jesmyn Ward (born April 1, 1977) is an American novelist and a professor of English at Tulane University, where she holds the Andrew W. Mellon Professorship in the Humanities. She won the 2011 National Book Award for Fiction for her second novel ''Salvage the Bones'', a story about familial love and community in facing Hurricane Katrina. She won the 2017 National Book Award for Fiction for her novel ''Sing, Unburied, Sing''.

She is the only woman and only African American to win the National Book Award for Fiction twice. All of Ward's first three novels are set in the fictitious Mississippi town of Bois Sauvage.
