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.

Wonderfully told. Engrossing and brilliant. Truly a pleasure to read something where I so associated with the protagonist.

Peeling layers away on a single weekend. Brandon Taylor really knows how to write. Reading this story captivated my soul in a narrative that, like pulling the Band-aid off a fresh wound, revealed the blood, pain, violence, and healing that can take place over just a few days (only it’s a lifetime really). I found myself wanting to read it again after I finished it, knowing in my gut that I would something new. Well-deserved Booker Prize nomination.
