A FINALIST FOR THE 2020 BOOKER PRIZE AND THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE JOHN LEONARD PRIZE A  NEW YORK TIMES  EDITORS' CHOICE “A blistering coming of age story” — O: The Oprah Magazine Named a Best Book of the Year by  The New York Times ,  The Washington Post , New York Public Library, Vanity Fair, Elle , NPR,  The Guardian , The Paris Review, Harper's Bazaar ,  Financial Times , Huffington Post, BBC, Shondaland, Barnes & Noble,  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.
