Set against the stark, sun-drenched backdrop of Ibiza, Gayl Jones’s novel explores the complex psychological landscape of Black American artists in exile. Narrated by writer Amanda Wordlaw, the narrative examines the volatile, intimate triangle formed between herself, a gifted sculptor, and the sculptor’s husband. This work offers a profound meditation on the nature of creative expression, domestic entrapment, and the enduring bonds of friendship.
