About

Museum of the African Diaspora, THERE Reading Series and Litquake present

Yaa Gyasi discusses and reads from her new book Homegoing, a story of breathtaking sweep and emotional power that traces three hundred years in Ghana, and along the way also becomes a truly great American novel.

Extraordinary for its exquisite language, its implacable sorrow, its soaring beauty, and for its monumental portrait of the forces that shape families and nations, Homegoing heralds the arrival of a major new voice in contemporary fiction.

“Homegoing is an inspiration.” —Ta-Nehisi Coates Learn more about Litquake
