DYSTOPIAS & FALSE PROMISES

In the dystopian Chain-Gang All-Stars: A Novel, NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH offers a clear-eyed look at the American prison system’s unholy alliance of systemic racism, unchecked capitalism, and mass incarceration – and what freedom in this country really means. In JINWOO CHONG’s Flux: A Novel, a young man’s reality unravels when he suspects that his mysterious employers have inadvertently discovered time travel and are using it to cover up a string of violent crimes. And in JONATHAN ESCOFFERY’s If I Survive You, a family flees to 1970s Miami as political violence consumes their native Kingston but America is far from the promised land.
