From the Booker Prize finalist and bestselling author: a perceptive novel about a gay Black painter navigating the worlds of art, desire, and creativityA newcomer to New York, Wyeth is a Black painter who grew up in the South and is trying to find his place in the contemporary Manhattan art scene. It’s challenging. Gallery shows displaying bad art. Pretentious artists jockeying for attention. The gossip and the backstabbing. While his part-time work for an art restorer is engaging, Wyeth suffers from artist’s block with his painting and he is finding it increasingly difficult to spark his creativity. When he meets Keating, a white former seminarian who left the priesthood, Wyeth begins to reconsider how to observe the world, in the process facing questions about the conflicts between Black and white art, the white gaze on the Black body, and the compromises we make – in art and in life.As he did so adeptly in Booker finalistReal Lifeand the bestsellingThe Late Americans, Brandon Taylor

From the Booker Prize finalist and “formidably gifted writer” (TheNew York Times), a vertiginous novel about a woman’s descent into illness and insanity.Amid a global pandemic, one young woman is trying to keep the pieces together – of her family, stunned by a devastating loss, and of her mind, left mangled and misfiring from a mystifying disease. She’s afraid of her own floorboards, and “WHAT IS LOVE? BABY DON’T HURT ME” plays over and over in her ears. She hates her friends, or more accurately, she doesn’t know who they are.Has the illness stolen her old mind and given her a new one? Does it mean she’ll get to start over from scratch, a chance afforded to very few people?

Often conflated with “codependency” or “people-pleasing,” fawning occurs when we inexplicably drawcloserto a person or relationship that causes pain, rather than pulling away.Do you apologize to people who have hurt you?Ignore their bad behavior?Befriend your bullies?Obsess about saying the right thing?Make yourself into someone you’re not... while seeking approval that may never come?You might be a fawner.Fawning explains why we stay in bad jobs, fall into unhealthy partnerships, and tolerate dysfunctional environments, even wh
