The debut novel by Cebo Campbell, longlisted for the Aspen Literary Prize, longlisted for the Mark Twain Award, nominated for Goodreads Choice award for fiction, and more, this novel is set in a world in which every white person in America mysteriously walks into water and disappears. A year later, Charlie Brunton meets his estranged biracial daughter, Sidney, who has been left to navigate the world without her white family. Together they embark on a cross-country journey through a transformed America, confronting grief, identity, and the question of what Blackness means in a world without whiteness.

PART PROGRESS REPORT, PART FIELD NOTE,
PART BEHIND-THE-SCENES JOURNAL

I'm publishing one novel, adapting another novel for screen, writing an original screenplay, and launching a new cultural brand all at once and I want to tell you everything that goes on. But only by email. Part progress report, part field notes, part behind-the-scenes journal, this weekly dispatch will be an honest glimpse into the wins, struggles, and questions that come with bringing ambitious ideas to life. And, don't worry, there's plenty of space for your questions and to tell me your stories own along the way.

In The
News.
