Daveed Diggs
Acerca de esta escucha
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' 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.

Historia
Vern - seven months pregnant and desperate to escape the strict religious compound where she was raised - flees for the shelter of the woods. There, she gives birth to twins, and plans to raise them far from the influence of the outside world. But even in the forest, Vern is a hunted woman. Forced to fight back against the community that refuses to let her go, she unleashes incredible brutality far beyond what a person should be capable of, her body wracked by inexplicable and uncanny changes.

Historia
Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs. Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares.

In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

The great scholar, W. E. B. Du Bois, once wrote about the problem of race in America, and what he called “Double Consciousness,” a sensitivity that every African American possesses in order to survive. Since childhood, Ailey Pearl Garfield has understood Du Bois’s words all too well. Bearing the names of two formidable Black Americans—the revered choreographer Alvin Ailey and her great grandmother Pearl, the descendant of enslaved Georgians and tenant farmers—Ailey carries Du Bois’s problem on her shoulders.

Anwuli Okwudili prefers to be called AO. To her, these initials have always stood for Artificial Organism. AO has never really felt...natural, and that's putting it lightly. Her parents spent most of the days before she was born praying for her peaceful passing because even in-utero she was "wrong". But she lived. Then came the car accident years later that disabled her even further. Yet instead of viewing her strange body the way the world views it, as freakish, unnatural, even the work of the devil, AO embraces all that she is.

Most days, Sarya doesn't feel like the most terrifying creature in the galaxy. Most days, she's got other things on her mind. Like hiding her identity among the hundreds of alien species roaming the corridors of Watertower Station. Or making sure her adoptive mother doesn't casually eviscerate one of their neighbors. Again. And most days, she can almost accept that she'll never know the truth - that she'll never know why humanity was deemed too dangerous to exist.

Historia
A strange plague called the "Gets" is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget - small things at first, like where they left their keys... then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily - and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered - a universal healer, from initial reports.

Historia
More than a decade ago, Mira fled her small, segregated hometown in the south to forget. With every mile she traveled, she distanced herself from her past: from her best friend Celine, mocked by their town as the only white girl with black friends; from her old neighborhood; from the eerie Woodsman plantation rumored to be haunted by the spirits of slaves; from the terrifying memory of a ghost she saw that terrible day when a dare-gone-wrong almost got Jesse—the boy she secretly loved—arrested for murder. But now Mira is back to attend Celine's wedding at the plantation.

Historia
Ella has a Thing. She sees a classmate grow up to become a caring nurse. A neighbor's son murdered in a drive-by shooting. Things that haven't happened yet. Kev, born while Los Angeles burned around them, wants to protect his sister from a power that could destroy her. But when Kev is incarcerated, Ella must decide what it means to watch her brother suffer while holding the ability to wreck cities in her hands. Rooted in the hope that can live in anger, Riot Baby is as much an intimate family story as a global dystopian narrative.

Historia
The three Maxwell siblings keep their distance from the lily-white gated enclave outside Dallas where they grew up. When their family moved there, they were the only Black family in the neighborhood. The neighbors acted nice enough, but right away bad things, scary things—the strange and the unexplainable—began to happen in their house. Maybe it was some cosmic trial, a demonic rite of passage into the upper-middle class. Whatever it was, the Maxwells, steered by their formidable mother, stayed put, unwilling to abandon their home, terrors and trauma be damned.

I Cried.
Was it a little hard to follow and confusing at some points? Sure.
But was it worth it? Absolutely. As a black woman, I would recommend this book to any person who's ever struggled with the agony that comes with being a descendant of trauma. I'd give it to the grandchild of a holocaust survivor. Or to any Native American who still holds grief from a genocide they've never lived through. There's something about this book that is so 'human' and gutting in the best way that it had me in tears by the end. I've never seen such a profound way to look at memories and grief. 5 stars.

Love Daveed Diggs but not for this book
I know the book is based off Clipping, a song Daveed Diggs wrote......However, this is a female centered book with few male leads. With that in mind, his masculine voice seems like a strange choice for narration. A black female voice would have transformed this performance from uncomfortable mansplaining to an original scifi story filled with black girl magic! I would recommend to read The Deep via hard copy or ebook.

Everything Deep Must Come To Surface
The Deep is a journey of poetic discoveries for the African slave women who were thrown overboard during the trans Atlantic voyage. Solomon’s work is a uniquely aquatic sea world fantasy, where the existence of the last Black mermaid has to count for something. Yetu, is able to survive in the deep, even while bleeding out among sharks. By remembering the importance of her heritage and struggle of her discarded people, it provides her a meaningful purpose for existing. In this novella fantasy, Yetu must fight to stay alive, after being wounded, for the sake of a history that can’t be forgotten. I’d recommend this short narrative to fantasy and poetry lovers.

Engaging cause for reflection
This is a great story that digs into the labor of carrying past trauma yet the beauty of connection. I will be listening to this again and again and I am confident that new insights will emerge each time.

Great read!
I thought it was a great story and performance but the end credits took it to the next level! I loved how the story unfolded just as much as the creativity that it took to bring it to life!

But I want more!
I enjoyed everything about this piece. The way the narratives wove together. The distinctive voices and emotions in the performance. The ways it all navigated through stories of neurodivergence and gender expansiveness. The insightful afterword. Even my longing for more is the good kind of longing - The piece feels whole and complete as it is, it just went by so quickly.
Fortunately, I can listen to it on repeat (not unlike a musical soundtrack or my favorite episode of the new Fraggle Rock)

A different imagining
Loved this book. And the narrator was so right about my experience in the end. This story is touching, evocative, and innovative. Not your normal “mermaid” book. Even the way the characters are describe and describe themselves is unusual - as in new and better! I wish it was longer. :)
