Real Life
by Brandon Taylor
Brandon Taylor's Real Life unfolds over a single late-summer weekend in a Midwestern university town, following Wallace, a Black, queer biochem student from Alabama who has built his life around keeping people at a careful distance. It's a quiet, interior coming-of-age novel about race, desire, and the exhausting work of holding yourself together.
