Luster a novel

 The novel is a portrait of Edie, a young Black woman in her twenties who is navigating a dead-end job, failed artistic ambitions, and complex relationships. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she gets involved with Eric, a middle-aged archivist in an open marriage, and finds herself an unexpected role model to his adopted daughter. The book explores themes of race, privilege, art, and sexuality with a razor-sharp and often humorous tone.
