HEALING THROUGH TRAUMAS – A STUDY ON GAYL JONES’ LITERARY WORKS

English

The best part of African American literature is that it allows readers to heal from their pains and scars because it is all about healing, compassion, and humanity. The beauty of any literature lies in the fact that it owes an extraordinary power of connecting with the readers and the characters. Even if the characters are depicted as a non-living thing they dare to touch the souls and minds of readers. This article is about informing readers how the literary works of Gayl Jones helped in healing. In this modern and scientific world, I personally feel that people have become so materialistic that somewhere they have started losing their humanness which lies inside them. “A man without a soul and a heart is nothing but a robot.” The reason why I have chosen Gayl Jones for my study because as per my research, I think she owns the quality of touching the souls and hearts of readers respectively. If read carefully and seriously her works have the power to make a thumbprint in the lives of readers. To be a great writer one must be a great reader one must devote them completely to the given piece of the story. Gayl Jones is one of them because she is explicitly well in reading and writing. This article explores Gayl Jones’ engagement of a healthy dose of skepticism and self-critique around the language she crafts in her literary works.
