Luster (Paperback)

'A taut, sharp, funny book about being young now. It's brutal-and brilliant.' - Zadie Smith, author of Swing Time

'Luster is entirely remarkable, and the most delicious novel I've read. I couldn't get enough of Raven Leilani's starkly accurate portrayal of the nuances of being a young woman today.' - Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie

'A beguiling fever dream of a novel, shot through with wistfulness, humor, and a kind of breathless, furious verve. You'll find it impossible to put down.' - Ling Ma, author of Severance

'This book is luminous, glorious. From the first sentence I knew there was word-magic here and that I would read any sentence Leilani cares to write. What a marvel.' - Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under

'Luster is a headlong carousel of a novel. With liquid prose and a painter's eye for colour, texture and light, Luster grapples vigorously with what it means to make art in a world pumping out racism-induced cortisol.' - Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times

'Luster is as close to perfect a book as you'll read this year. I promise you - Raven Leilani is about to become your new obsession.' - Louise O'Neill
