Vulture  Thrillist  VICE  SELF  Electric Literature  and Shelf Awareness A novel of startling
intimacy  violence  and mercy among friends in a Midwestern university town  from an electric
new voice. Almost everything about Wallace is at odds with the Midwestern university town where
he is working uneasily toward a biochem degree. An introverted young man from Alabama  black
and queer  he has left behind his family without escaping the long shadows of his childhood.
For reasons of self-preservation  Wallace has enforced a wary distance even within his own
circle of friends-some dating each other  some dating women  some feigning straightness. But
over the course of a late-summer weekend  a series of confrontations with colleagues  and an
unexpected encounter with an ostensibly straight  white classmate  conspire to fracture his
defenses while exposing long-hidden currents of hostility and desire within their community.
Real Life is a novel of profound and lacerating power  a story that asks if it's ever really
possible to overcome our private wounds  and at what cost.
