✦ Synopsis

"A riveting and exhilarating novel about making art and selling out …Senna is one of this country's most thrilling writers." -Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind
A brilliant dark comedy about love and ambition, failure and reinvention, and the racial- identity-industrial complex from the bestselling author of Caucasia
Jane has high hopes that her life is about to turn around.

The gig magically coincides with Jane's sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel--a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her "mulatto War and Peace. " Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp.
But things don't work out quite as hoped....
