Description
“Exhilarating....A rich resurrection of a forgotten history....[Hartmanâ€s] rigor and restraint give her
writing its distinctive electricity and tension....This kind of beautiful, immersive narration exists for its own
sake but it also counteracts the most common depictions of black urban life from this time.― - Parul
Sehgal, New York Times“I was inspired, surprised and deeply moved....[Hartmanâ€s] mode is
intimate, radical and always alive to the details.― - Leslie Jamison, New York Times Book Review
“Revelatory....The book's broad sweep, and its nimble pivoting among a range of scales and perspectives,
make room for anonymous loiterers and recalcitrant inmates alongside fleeting stars and the more enduringly
famous....Wayward Lives is thrilling to read because it invents a genre as deft and adventurous as the lives it
chronicles.― - Sam Huber, The Nation“Kaleidoscopic....In granting these forgotten women a voice, and
conjuring their longing for freedom, Hartman resists the century-long diminution of their lives to social
problems....The result is an effect more usually associated with fiction than history, of inspiring a powerful
imaginative empathy―not only towards characters in the distant past but towards the strangers all around
us, whose humanity we share.― - Joanna Scutts, New Republic“Genre-bending literary history....These
are dishy, illuminating, and heartbreaking stories about the knotted relationship between desire and
freedom.― - Kat Stoeffel, Elle“Brilliant....A virtuosic work of scholarship that recovers fragments of the
lives of women who were supposed to be forgotten. As a result of her formidable research, stunning
erudition, translucent prose and bold imagination, Saidiya Hartman reanimates their lives. Readers will not
be able to forget them. They will also learn much about the social forces that enabled and constrained their
struggle to live in beauty and freedom.― - Cheryl A. Wall, Times Higher Education“A radical, genredefying
examination of the lives of ‘ordinary†young Black women....As is redolent of all
Hartmanâ€s work, Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments offers a blistering critique of historical archives
as the singular or even most authoritative source of credible knowledge....[She] implores us to pause and
consider who is inside of and outside of the archive; whose voice is heard and whose voice is silenced;
whose lives matter and whose lives to not.― - Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Los Angeles Review of Books
“A profound and painstaking act of reconstruction that renews our understanding of an era now largely
faded from public memory....A bravely wayward, unflinchingly hybrid book, perhaps best described as
halfway between the novel and documentary history, but more than anything else it leaves me curious about
where Saidiya Hartmanâ€s thinking will take us next.― - Jess Row, Bookforum“Ambitious,
original…a beautiful experiment in its own right.― - Maggie Nelson, author of The Argonauts
“A startling, dazzling act of resurrection…Hartman has granted these forgotten, ‘wayward†women
a new life…[She] challenges us to see, finally, who they really were: beautiful, complex, and
multidimensional―whole people―who dared to live by their own rules, somehow making a way out of no
way at all.― - Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow Read more Saidiya Hartman is the

author of Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave
Routeand Scenes of Subjection. A MacArthur 'Genius' Fellow, she has been a Guggenheim Fellow, Cullman
Fellow, and Fulbright Scholar. She is a professor at Columbia University and lives in New York. Read more
