Ryan Douglass's books are fiction that moves between literary novels and thrillers. The Great Disillusionment of Nick and Jay follows Nick Carrington, a seventeen-year-old aspiring writer who leaves Greenwood, Oklahoma for Harlem and a new school, West Egg Academy, where a growing bond with Jay Gatsby Jr. unfolds alongside hard questions about what integration really means. The Taking of Jake Livingston turns to thriller territory.
