Welcome to Litsy!

Cattle Haul by Jesmyn Ward is a masterful story of poverty with some brilliant descriptions and use of style to bring it to life. It is outside my usual tastes but this definitely makes me more inclined to read more Ward in the future. I hope everyone enjoyed the story, and I hope you will share your thoughts in the comments.
