~ Winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize - 2021, the National Cook Critics Circle Award for John Leonard Award - 2020, Kirkus Prize for Fiction - 2020, and The Center for Fiction First Novel Prize - 2020

A portrait of a young woman just trying to survive, attempting to make sense of her life, her hunger, and her anger in a tumultuous era . . . 

Irresistibly unruly and shockingly beautiful, razor-sharp and slyly comic, sexually charged and utterly absorbing, Luster is also a haunting, aching description of how hard it is to believe in your own talent and the unexpected influences that bring us into ourselves along the way. 

"So delicious that it feels illicit ... Raven Leilani's first novel reads like summer: sentences like ice that crackle or melt into a languorous drip; plot suddenly, wildly flying forward like a bike down a hill." -- The New York Times Book Review
