Let Us Descend: Jesmyn Ward in conversation with Regina N. Bradley (October 27, 2023)

Presented by Georgia Center for the Book & Conversations at First Baptist Decatur
From Jesmyn Ward-the two-time National Book Award winner, youngest winner of the Library of Congress Prize for Fiction, and MacArthur Fellow-comes a haunting masterpiece, sure to be an instant classic, about an enslaved girl in the years before the Civil War.
Let Us Descend is a reimagining of American slavery, as beautifully rendered as it is heart-wrenching. Searching, harrowing, replete with transcendent love, the novel is a journey from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar plantation.
