SUMMARY:Homegoing: An Evening with Yaa Gyasi
DESCRIPTION:Yaa Gyasi returns to Berkeley to discuss and sign copies of her extraordinary debut novel. Join us at Pegasus Books Downtown for the paperback launch of Homegoing. \n“Homegoing is an inspiration.” —Ta-Nehisi Coates \nWinner of the NBCC’s John Leonard First Book Prize\nA New York Times Notable Book\nA Washington Post Notable Book\nOne of the Best Books of the Year: NPR\, Time\, Oprah.com\, Harper’s Bazaar\, San Francisco Chronicle\, Mother Jones\, Esquire\, Elle\, Paste\, Entertainment Weekly\, the Skimm\, Minneapolis Star Tribune\, BuzzFeed \n**Free to attend. Seats are on a first-come basis.** \nAbout the Book: \nGhana\, eighteenth century: two half sisters are born into different villages\, each unaware of the other. One will marry an Englishman and lead a life of comfort in the palatial rooms of the Cape Coast Castle. The other will be captured in a raid on her village\, imprisoned in the very same castle\, and sold into slavery. \nHomegoing follows the parallel paths of these sisters and their descendants through eight generations: from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi\, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem. Yaa Gyasi’s extraordinary novel illuminates slavery’s troubled legacy both for those who were taken and those who stayed—and shows how the memory of captivity has been inscribed on the soul of our nation. \nAuthor Bio: \nYaa Gyasi was born in Ghana and raised in Huntsville\, Alabama. She holds a BA in English from Stanford University and an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, where she held a Dean’s Graduate Research Fellowship. She lives in New York City.
