Jane Gibson, a mixed-race novelist who has spent a decade writing a novel about the history of mixed-race people in America, is running out of money and time. When her husband is offered a Hollyood deal, they move to Los Angeles, where Jane becomes enmeshed in the industry's particular species of racial performance and compromise. A biting satire of the literary world, Hollywood, and the commodification of identity. Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for Fiction.
