'Startling, clear-eyed, undeniably cool' Observer
'Bold, necessary, profound' New Statesman
'Exhilarating' Financial Times
Two friends meet in an art gallery after decades of silence. The idealism that once bound them together fissured and fractured under the weight of collective and personal griefs. Through their memories of youthful certainty, the antagonism of their conversation and the embers of their enduring kinship, they navigate the wreckage of our world today - the hope, the anger and the exhaustion.
In her most personal and emotionally resonant writing yet, Claudia Rankine blends narrative, memory and criticism in a poignant exploration of the beautiful but complicated friendships that we rely on to unsettle us, to make us better - exposing the fiction in the facts of our lives and demanding action in our time of relentless loss.
