The Deep
of Rivers Solomon (Goodreads Author), Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, Jonathan Snipes
Description
The water-breathing descendants of African slave women tossed overboard have built their own underwater societyâand must reclaim the memories of their past to shape their future in this brilliantly imaginative novella inspired by the Hugo Award nominated song âThe Deepâ from Daveed Diggsâ rap group Clipping.Yetu holds the memories for her peopleâwater-dwelling descendants of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard by slave ownersâwho live idyllic lives in the deep. Their past, too traumatic to be remembered regularly, is forgotten by everyone, save oneâthe historian. This demanding role has been bestowed on Yetu.Yetu remembers for everyone, and the memories, painful and wonderful, traumatic and terrible and miraculous, are destroying her. And so, she flees to the surface, escaping the memories, the expectations, and the responsibilitiesâand discovers a world her people left behind long ago.Yetu will learn more than she ever expected to about her own pastâand about the future of her people. If they are all to survive, theyâll need to reclaim the memories, reclaim their identityâand own who they really are.Inspired by a song produced by the rap group Clipping for the This American Life episode âWe Are In The Future,â The Deep is vividly original and uniquely affecting.
