    Держать людей на расстоянии уже давно вошло у Уолласа в привычку. Нет, он не социофоб. Просто так безопасней. Он — первый за несколько десятков лет черный студент на факультете биохимии в Университете Среднего Запада. А еще он гей. Максимально не вписывается в местное общество, однако приспосабливаться умеет. Но разве Уолласу действительно хочется такой жизни? За одни летние выходные вся его тщательно упорядоченная действительность начинает постепенно рушиться, как домино. И стычки с коллегами, напряжение в коллективе друзей вдруг раскроют неожиданные привязанности, неприязнь, стремления, боль, страхи и воспоминания.

  • The Late Americans Брендон Тейлор
    ISBN: 9780593332337
    Год издания: 2023
    Издательство: Riverhead Books
    A deeply involving new novel of young men and women at a crossroads

    In the shared and private spaces of Iowa City, a loose circle of lovers and friends encounter, confront, and provoke one another in a volatile year of self-discovery. At the group’s center are Ivan, a dancer turned aspiring banker who dabbles in amateur pornography; Fatima, whose independence and work ethic complicates her relationships with friends and a trusted mentor; and Noah, who “didn’t seek sex out so much as it came up to him like an anxious dog in need of affection.” These three are buffeted by a cast of poets, artists, landlords, meat-packing workers, and mathematicians who populate the cafes, classrooms, and food-service kitchens of Iowa City, sometimes to violent and electrifying consequence. Finally, as each prepares for an uncertain future, the group heads to a cabin to bid goodbye to their former lives—a moment of reckoning that leaves each of them irrevocably altered.
  • Filthy Animals Брендон Тейлор
    ISBN: 9780525538912
    Год издания: 2021
    Издательство: Riverhead Books
    Язык: Английский
    A group portrait of young adults enmeshed in desire and violence, a hotly charged, deeply satisfying new work of fiction from the author of Booker Prize finalist Real Life

    In the series of linked stories at the heart of Filthy Animals, set among young creatives in the American Midwest, a young man treads delicate emotional waters as he navigates a series of sexually fraught encounters with two dancers in an open relationship, forcing him to weigh his vulnerabilities against his loneliness. In other stories, a young woman battles with the cancers draining her body and her family; menacing undercurrents among a group of teenagers explode in violence on a winter night; a little girl tears through a house like a tornado, driving her babysitter to the brink; and couples feel out the jagged edges of connection, comfort, and cruelty.

    One of the breakout literary stars of 2020, Brandon Taylor has been hailed by Roxane Gay as "a writer who wields his craft in absolutely unforgettable ways." With Filthy Animals he renews and expands on the promise made in Real Life, training his precise and unsentimental gaze on the tensions among friends and family, lovers and others. Psychologically taut and quietly devastating, Filthy Animals is a tender portrait of the fierce longing for intimacy, the lingering presence of pain, and the desire for love in a world that seems, more often than not, to withhold it.
