REAL LIFE: A Novel By Brandon Taylor Fiction | Riverhead | February 18, 2020| World Rights Agent: DeFiore and Company Manuscript available
A searing novel in ten parts, REAL LIFE excavates the social intricacies of a summer weekend on one level, and a lifetime of buried pain, on another. Taylor touches both seductively and scathingly on love’s proximal relationship to violence (and the inherently complex sexual politics of that proximity), the unknowability of another’s grief, the indefatigable human desire for connection, and the microaggressions attendant to racism, homophobia, and additional kinds of othering.
Brandon Taylor is the associate editor of Electric Literature's Recommended Reading and a staff writer at Literary Hub. His writing has received fellowships from Lambda Literary, Kimbilio Fiction, and the Tin House Summer Writer's workshop. His stories and essays have appeared at Literary Hub, Catapult, Them.com, Gulf Coast, Little Fiction, Amazon's Day One, Out Magazine online, Necessary Fiction, Joyland, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, and elsewhere.
SOLD TO Piper Verlag/Germany
ADVANCE PRAISE “There is writing so exceptional, so intricately crafted that it demands reverence. The intimate prose of Brandon Taylor’s exquisite debut novel, Real Life, offers exactly that kind of writing. He writes so powerfully about so many things—the perils of graduate education, blackness in a predominantly white setting, loneliness, desire, trauma, need. Wallace, the man at the center of this novel, is written with nuance and tenderness and complexity. . . . Truly, this is stunning work from a writer who wields his craft in absolutely unforgettable ways.” —Roxane Gay
“This book blew my head and heart off. For a debut novelist to disentangle and rebraid intimacy, terror, and joy this finely seems like a myth. But that, and so much more, is what Brandon Taylor has done in Real Life. The future of the novel is here and Brandon Taylor is that future’s name.” —Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy
“Real Life is a gorgeous work of art, and the introduction of a singular new voice. Through Wallace, the book explores the tension of a person trying to become himself while surrounded by people who can see him only as their own projection. Even as Brandon Taylor dives beneath the level of polite surface interaction and into the ache of what people conceal from one another, or reveal only as weaponry, his sharply rendered observations make it a true pleasure to spend time in this book’s world.” —Danielle Evans, author of Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self
“Real Life is one of the finest fiction debuts I’ve read in the last decade—elegant and brutal, handled by an author whose attention to the heart is unlike any other’s. A magnificent novel.” —Esmé Weijun Wang, New York Times bestselling author of The Collected Schizophrenias and The Border of Paradise
“A few summer days, a group of friends, a difficult intimacy—with the simplest materials, Real Life reveals the knives we pocket in good intentions, our constant, communal sabotage of love. Brandon Taylor’s genius lies in the elaboration of ever more revelatory gradations of feeling; in his extraordinary debut he invents new tools for navigating the human dark in which we know one another. He is a brilliant writer, and this is a beautiful book.” —Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You

5 HOW TO BE AN ARTIST By Jerry Saltz Nonfiction | Riverhead | March 17, 2020 | World Rights Agent: Chris Calhoun Agency Manuscript available
How do I get started? How do I get better? Is what I’m doing even art at all? Artists, both amateur and professional, have approached New York magazine’s chief art critic Jerry Saltz with questions like these: they want to know, in short, how to be an artist. Expanding on his viral cover story for New York magazine—and drawing on his decades of immersion in the art world—Jerry Saltz has the answers.
Jerry Saltz is the senior art critic at New York magazine and its entertainment site Vulture. He is the winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Criticism, and a finalist for the 2019 National Magazine Award. Before joining New York in 2007, Saltz had been art critic for the Village Voice since 1998, and was twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize during his tenure there. A frequent guest lecturer, he has spoken at the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, the Whitney Museum, and many others, and has appeared at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, the Rhode Island School of Design, Art Institute of Chicago, and elsewhere.
VIRAL COVER STORY: “How to be an Artist”: https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/jerry-saltz-how-to-be-an- artist.html • Three simultaneous newstand covers featured Jerry as Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, and Frida Kahlo • Seen by nearly 400,000 readers (between subscribers and newsstand sales) • Saltz was named a 2018 Ad Age Creativity All Star alongside Reese Witherspoon, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, and others

ADVANCE PRAISE “Inspiration leaps off the pages from Jerry Saltz’s new book on creativity. One wants to say he’s revealing secrets, but really, he’s revealing intuition—intuition formed from decades of thinking about art. This book is for the artist or non-artist, for the person who gets plain English, for the person who understands that practical talk can coax out the mystical messages that lie underneath.” —Steve Martin
“In How to Be an Artist, Jerry Saltz is so right-on it scares me.” —Cindy Sherman
“Jerry is an impassioned lover of all art and all artists, heartbroken when they’re not good and joyous when they are. You don’t read so much as bathe in his prose, turbulent but clear, emerging each time as hopeful as this morning.” —Peter Schjeldahl
“An inspiring guide to making your art, putting it out into the world, and dealing with the consequences. I found a lot to steal here, and you will too.” —Austin Kleon
“What is an artist? If most things make you bored or sad, but creating things makes you feel better, that's a sign that Fate is ushering you over to a tiny, rickety chair with a sign overhead that says, Hey, you. You might be an artist. The challenge then is, how to be a better artist. And Jerry Saltz is right: The truest answer is work. Practice. Make mistakes. Tear it up. Do it again. Get better. Keep going.” —Roz Chast
