SUMMARY:Jesmyn Ward: Let Us Descend at Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed author Jesmyn Ward is a MacArthur Genius Grant winner and the first woman and Black American to win the National Book Award for Fiction twice. Join moderator Natalie Moore for an evening with this literary powerhouse as she dives into her latest novel\, Let Us Descend. Set in the antebellum South during the early 1800s\, the story describes a haunting journey of a young slave girl from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans. Landing on Oprah’s Book Club and several best book of 2023 lists\, Ward’s lyrical prose and unflinching narrative confront the brutal realities of enslavement. Join a rigorous discussion on Ward’s contribution to the African American literary canon. \nAccessibility: Assistive Listening Devices\, Open Captions\, Audio Description \nhttps://chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/jesmyn-ward/
