About The Other Black Girl: A Novel
Product Description INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A Good Morning America, Esquire, and Read with Marie Claire Book Club Pick and a People Best Book of Summer Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by Time, The Washington Post, Harper’s Bazaar, Entertainment Weekly, Marie Claire, Bustle, BuzzFeed, Parade, Goodreads, Fortune, and BBC Urgent, propulsive, and sharp as a knife, The Other Black Girl is an electric debut about the tension that unfurls when two young Black women meet against the starkly white backdrop of New York City book publishing. Twenty-six-year-old editorial assistant Nella Rogers is tired of being the only Black employee at Wagner Books. Fed up with the isolation and microaggressions, she’s thrilled when Harlem-born and bred Hazel starts working in the cubicle beside hers. They’ve only just started comparing natural hair care regimens, though, when a string of uncomfortable events elevates Hazel to Office Darling, and Nella is left in the dust. Then the notes begin to appear on Nella’s desk: LEAVE WAGNER. NOW. It’s hard to believe Hazel is behind these hostile messages. But as Nella starts to spiral and obsess over the sinister forces at play, she soon realizes that there’s a lot more at stake than just her career. A whip-smart and dynamic thriller and sly social commentary that is perfect for anyone who has ever felt manipulated, threatened, or overlooked in the workplace, The Other Black Girl will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last twist. Amazon.com Review One of the biggest books of the season is Zakiya Dalila Harris’ The Other Black Girl, a debut that starts out as a simple, charming story about a young Black woman working at a prestigious publishing house (Harris worked at Knopf) and turns into something altogether different and unexpected. When another Black girl shows up to work at the publisher, the drama is set into motion. Are they allies? Enemies? Neither? And who is leaving threatening notes? Billed as a thriller, and even horror, The Other Black Girl is something else altogether—its own thing—which means readers going in with preconceived expectations are unlikely to find them as they move through the novel. But Harris is tuned to her story, and open-minded readers will be, too. This is one to think about, and talk about, for a long time after. –Chris Schluep, Amazon Book Review Review “Filled with twists both unsettling and unexpected . . . such a timely read.” ― TIME “A thrilling, edgier Devil Wears Prada that explores privilege and racism.” ― Washington Post “Harris’ genre-bending evisceration of workplace privilege is set to become the debut of the summer.” ― Entertainment Weekly “Harris isn't afraid of taking risks in this book, pushing the plot to thrilling heights. As extraordinary as The Other Black Girl's story becomes, it's rooted in all-too-real social problems.” ― Oprah Daily “Wholly earned brilliance. Harris makes her entrance as an author with singular style. Whatever she does next might seem quieter, but watch for it: It will be brilliant.” ― NPR “Funny and subversive, this debut about the trials of a Black assistant at a mostly white publishing house uses suspense, horror and satire to bring home the toll of workplace racism.” ― People “A debut novel that is the perfect mix of social commentary and fast-paced thriller. Poignant, daring, and darkly funny, The Other Black Girl will have you stressed and exhilarated in equal measure through the very last twist.” ― Vulture “Riveting, fearless, and vividly original. This is an exciting debut.” -- EMILY ST. JOHN MANDEL, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Hotel “Witty, inventive, and smart, The Other Black Girl goes deeper to take on class privilege, race, and gender in a narrative that slyly plays along the edges of convention. Zakiya Dalila Harris’s debut is a brilliant combustion of suspense, horror, and social commentary that leaves no assumption unchallenged and no p
