A novel of incredible intimacy, violence, and mercy between friends in a Midwestern college town, from a vibrant new voice.

Almost everything about Wallace is at odds with the Midwestern college town where he’s working his butt off to get a degree in biochemistry. An introverted young man from Alabama, black and eccentric, he left his family without escaping the long darkness of his childhood.

For reasons of self-protection, Wallace enforced a cautious distance even within his own circle of friends – some dating each other, some dating women, some pretending to be outspoken. But over the course of a late summer weekend, a series of confrontations with co-workers and an unexpected encounter with a white classmate, ostensibly straight, conspire to break his defenses, while exposing long-hidden streams of hostility and desire within their communities.

Real Life is a novel of deep and painful power, a story that questions whether it is ever really possible to get over our wounds, and at a cost.

This book will challenge many readers with its candid portrayal of racism in the North and racism in academia. But more importantly, it will challenge our sense of relationships and what people need from each other. Beautifully crafted with language, speed, rhythm, and all of that captured with a stunning narrative, Real People is simply stunning

Few writers write this well, not just in prose but in how simple sentences or actions give depth to understanding characters. A book about alienation, racism, homophobia and all that just happens among a bunch of friends over a weekend. The best book out of my last 20 listens.
