The Atlas of Reds and Blues
by Devi S. Laskar
"As she bleeds on her driveway, a woman replays the thousand cuts that led here."
After police raid her suburban Atlanta home, a Bengali-American mother lies wounded on the ground, her life flashing in fragments — a mosaic of microaggressions, motherhood and the myth of belonging. Spare, formally daring, unforgettable.
Worth knowing
Drawn in part from an event in Laskar's own life; one of the most acclaimed debuts of its year.
