The Deep
Rivers Solomon, Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, Jonathan SnipesThe water-breathing descendants of African slave women tossed overboard have built their own underwater society—& must reclaim the memories of their past to shape their future in this brilliantly imaginative novella inspired by the Hugo Award–nominated song “The Deep” from Daveed Diggs’s rap group clipping Yetu holds the memories for her people—water-dwelling descendants of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard by slave owners—who live idyllic lives in the deep.
Their past, too traumatic to be remembered regularly, is forgotten by everyone, save one—the historian. This demanding role has been bestowed on Yetu. Yetu remembers for everyone, & the memories, painful & wonderful, traumatic & terrible & miraculous, are destroying her. And so, she flees to the surface, escaping the memories, the expectations, & the responsibilities—& discovers a world her people left behind long ago. Yetu will learn more than she ever expected to about her own past—& about the future of her people. If they are all to survive, they’ll need to reclaim the memories, reclaim their identity—& own who they really are. Inspired by a song produced by the rap group Clipping for the This American Life episode “We Are In The Future,” The Deep is vividly original & uniquely affecting.
