SUMMARY:Jesmyn Ward Author Event "Let Us Descend"
DESCRIPTION:Millsaps College will be hosting Jesmyn Ward on Saturday\, November 4th Gertrude C. Ford Academic Complex | Recital Hall — event begins at 2pm with a book signing to follow.\n\nLET 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.\nThis event is co-sponsored by The Mississippi Book Festival and the Mississippi Humanities Council.
