Longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize

Such a Fun Age

From the celebrated New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age comes a fresh and provocative story about a residential assistant and her messy entanglement with a professor and three unruly students. It's 2017 at the University of Arkansas. Millie Cousins, a senior resident assistant, wants to graduate, get a job, and buy a house. So when Agatha Paul, a visiting professor and writer, offers Millie an easy yet unusual opportunity, she jumps at the chance. But Millie's starry-eyed hustle becomes jeopardized by odd new friends, vengeful dorm pranks, and illicit intrigue. A fresh and intimate portrait of desire, consumption, and reckless abandon, Come and Get It is a tension-filled story about money, indiscretion, and bad behavior—and the highly anticipated new novel by acclaimed and award-winning author Kiley Reid.

Come and Get It

Simplexity

La novela revelación que marca el nacimiento de una nueva estrella literaria. El debut que se ha catapultado a lo más alto de las listas a ambos lados del Atlántico. Cuando a Emira la detienen en la tienda del barrio acomodado de la familia para la que trabaja de canguro, acusándola de haber secuestrado a la niña a la que cuida, no le cabe duda de que el motivo es el color de su piel. Emira quiere pasar página, pero su jefa, Alix, está dispuesta a lo que sea con tal de ayudarla y no va a permitírselo. Alix Chamberlain siempre consigue lo que quiere. No es consciente del privilegio que le otorgan su dinero y ser blanca, y la vida de Emira es lo más interesante que le ha pasado últimamente. Cuando ambas descubren que tienen en común mucho más de lo que creían, su forma de ver el mundo, e incluso a sí mismas, da un vuelco que pone sus vidas patas arriba.

Os Melhores Anos

UM ROMANCE DE ESTREIA MARCANTE E SURPREENDENTE. "Não consegui parar de ler." – Jojo Moyes, autora de Como eu era antes de você "Kiley Reid discute privilégio e branquitude na era do Vidas Negras Importam, mapeando de forma implacável os momentos em que as boas intenções têm consequências desastrosas." – The New Yorker "Na corda bamba é um livro realista sobre racismo, riqueza e divisão de classes. De forma sutil, ilustra como o racismo estrutural se manifesta e de que forma sofremos com ele ou acabamos perpetuando-o no dia a dia." – Marie Claire Certa noite, num supermercado de um bairro rico, Emira Tucker, uma jovem negra que trabalha como babá, é abordada por um segurança que a acusa de ter sequestrado Briar, a garotinha branca que está com ela. Uma pequena multidão se reúne, alguém faz um vídeo da situação e a comoção só termina quando o pai da criança aparece. Alix, a mãe de Briar, fica chocada com o ocorrido. Bem-sucedida e dona de uma marca envolvida na luta pelo empoderamento feminino, ela decide que Emira merece justiça e resolve fazer de tudo para que isso aconteça. A própria Emira, porém, só quer deixar a história para trás. Aos 25 anos, trabalhando sem carteira assinada e prestes a perder o seguro-saúde, ela está às voltas com os desafios da vida adulta e a última coisa que quer é ser exposta pela divulgação dessas imagens. Mas, quando uma parte do passado de Alix vem à tona, ela e Emira são confrontadas com verdades que podem mudar para sempre o que elas pensam uma sobre a outra e sobre si mesmas. Um romance essencial para os tempos atuais, Na corda bamba fala sobre como o racismo e o privilégio afetam as relações interpessoais no dia a dia. Com uma narrativa vibrante e provocativa, é também uma reflexão sobre como a necessidade de "fazer a coisa certa" pode nos colocar, às vezes irreversivelmente, no caminho errado.

George Washington's Teeth

L'inganno delle buone azioni

Alix Chamberlain fehér, jómódú és sikeres; tudja, hogy mit akar, és meg is szerzi azt. Népszerû blogger, aki üzleti vállalkozását más nõk önbizalmának növelésére építi. Emira Tucker fekete, megélhetési gondokkal küzd, és fogalma sincs, mit akar az élettõl. Tanácstalanul sodródik, és amíg nincs más, gazdag fehér nõk gyermekeire vigyáz, többek között Alixére is. Amikor egy este Alix kérésére Emira magával viszi a hároméves kislányt, a közeli szupermarketben kinézete miatt a fehér gyermek elrablásával vádolják, és videóra veszik megszégyenítését. Alix mindent megtesz, hogy jóvátegye az ügyet, és a szárnyai alá veszi Emirát, ám a megaláztatások, faji elõítéletek és társadalmi egyenlõtlenségek nem tüntethetõk el nyomtalanul. A két nõ összecsapása elkerülhetetlen, és ez mindkettejük életét visszavonhatatlanul megváltoztatja. Kiley Reid fordulatos, ellenállhatatlan humorú regénye érzékeny és értõ látlelet a napjaink társadalmát átszövõ képmutatásról és túlkompenzálásról. A könyvet a Goodreads olvasói 2020 legjobb debütálásának nyilvánították, a The Washington Post, az Elle, a Vogue és a Vox pedig 2020 legjobb könyvei közé választotta, ahogy Reese Witherspoon könyvklubja is.
