She “can tell he is revising me in his head.” Later, Eric breaks one of Rebecca’s rules by inviting Edie to their house. Although Edie sparks intense sexual desire in Eric, she finds herself hemmed in by the restrictions imposed by Rebecca, as well as by who Eric wants Edie to be. We are introduced to twenty-three-year-old artist Edie as she remembers her first sexual encounter with Eric, an older businessman working in uptown New York, after he and his wife, Rebecca, had agreed to an open marriage. The book, which has caught the eye of writers like Justin Torres, Brit Bennett, and Zadie Smith, speaks to Audre Lorde’s essay, “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action.” In it, Lorde states, “Black women have on one hand always been highly visible, and so, on the other hand, have been rendered invisible through the depersonalization of racism.” In gut-wrenching and masterful prose, Leilani’s novel demonstrates the validity of Lorde’s quotation through the character of Edie. Raven Leilani’s Luster paints a portrait of a Black woman attempting to make space for herself and her art in white America. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Grounded in meticulous research and written with a reverential approach to Jesus's life that focuses on his humanity, The Book of Longings is an inspiring, unforgettable account of one woman's bold struggle to realize the passion and potential inside her, while living in a time, place and culture devised to silence her.

The World’s Greatest Detective utilises his skills to uncover the murderous crimes but in doing so must face up to his own psyche. In Gotham by Gaslight the concept of Batman is transported to Victorianesque Gotham amidst the panic of the mysterious killer Jack the Ripper. ![]() These ‘what if’ one-shot titles took the traditional superhero into unknown realms and dissected and reshaped their moral code to adhere to different universes.
