WINNER OF THE LAMBDA LITERARY LGBTQ SCIENCE FICTION/FANTASY/HORROR
AWARD The water-breathing descendants of African slave women tossed
overboard have built their own underwater society-and 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, 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 responsibilities-and discovers a world her
people left behind long ago. Yetu will learn more than she ever
expected to about her own past-and about the future of her people.
If they are all to survive, they'll need to reclaim the memories,
reclaim their identity-and 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 and
uniquely affecting.
