Description
A darkly funny debut about the realities of elitist institutions, The Unfortunates is a powerful exploration of mental health and race. Set in the mind of a young Black woman who is losing hers, this novel tackles the issue with biting humour. Written as an honors thesis, the book offers a unique perspective on the struggles faced by those within elitist institutions. With a creative style and structure, it refreshes the idea of what a campus novel could be. Early readers have praised The Unfortunates for its innovative approach to mental health and race, with one reviewer petitioning universities to include it in their reading lists.
