Description
Brandon Taylor's debut novel plunges into the intimate, often fraught, world of Wallace, a young, gay, Black graduate student navigating a Midwestern university town. Over a single, intense weekend, Wallace grapples with buried histories, personal wounds, and the complex dynamics of friendship, love, and desire. The narrative explores profound questions of entitlement to pain and the possibility of overcoming trauma, all rendered in exquisite, visceral prose. This is a story of startling intimacy and bruising honesty, marking the arrival of a powerful and unforgettable new voice in contemporary fiction.
