Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism
Winner of the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction
"Hartman has influenced an entire generation of scholars and afforded readers a proximity to the past that would otherwise be foreclosed."
-The MacArthur Foundation
"I'm enthralled by [Hartman's] gift for combining historical research with evocative imaginative leaps. Her writing in [Wayward Lives] is a profound act of reclamation, and a simply stunning read."
-Maaza Mengiste
"Hartman, one of our most brilliant contemporary thinkers, introduced the term 'critical fabulation' into my world. She's a theorist and writer who actually changes what's possible in my thought patterns. It's exciting."
-Claudia Rankine
"I was inspired, surprised, and deeply moved. . . . [Hartman's] mode is intimate, radical and always alive to the details."
-Leslie Jamison
"[Wayward Lives] left me awestruck and grateful. I don't think I've ever read anything like it-radical, rigorous, lyrical, attentive. . . . I read this thinking that I want to be wherever Saidiya Hartman is."
-Yaa Gyasi
"Daring, and often inspiring. . . . Hartman is a tremendously gifted writer with the eye and the lyrical prose of a novelist. . . . The talent to do what Hartman does in [Wayward Lives] is rare."
-Annette Gordon-Reed
