Brandon Taylor’s deeply affecting story about the emotional cost of reckoning with desire & overcoming pain, deftly zooms in & out of focus.
A novel of startling intimacy, violence, & mercy among friends in a Midwestern university town, from an electric new voice.
Almost everything about Wallace, an introverted African-American transplant from Alabama, is at odds with the lakeside Midwestern university town where he is studying for a biochem degree. For reasons of self-preservation, he has kept a distance even from his own friends - some dating each other, some dating women, some feigning straightness.
His father died a few weeks ago, but Wallace didn’t go back for the funeral, & he hasn’t told any of his friends. Instead, Wallace has spent all summer in the lab breeding a strain of microscopic worms. Self-preservation requires distance. Over the course of one end-of-summer weekend, however, the destruction of his work & a series of confrontations force Wallace to grapple with both the trauma of the past & the question of the future.
Real Life is a novel of profound & lacerating power, a story that asks if it’s ever really possible to overcome our private wounds, & at what cost.
