Explanation and Analysis:

In Sing, Unburied, Sing Ward shifts between lyrical, highly descriptive passages and uncomfortably sharp Realism to draw a line between the living and the dead, the present and past. The novel’s many scenes with ghosts all share a slow, dreamlike quality, where time feels suspended.
