Description
“A brave, exciting new writer.”—TAYARI JONES, author of SILVER SPARROW and AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE
The raucous, irreverent, and heart wrenching story of a transgender woman’s re-entry into life on the outside after over twenty years in incarceration told over one whirlwind Fourth of July weekend.
Following her involvement in a liquor store robbery during her youth, Carlotta Mercedes has been in a men’s prison for twenty-three years. Now she has finally been released and is heading home to the newly gentrified Brooklyn, re-entering the orbit of her ambivalent son and adjusting to life as a quasi-free woman, restricted by parole rulings and the hostility of contemporary New York. Loosely inspired by James Joyce’s Ulysses, Didn't Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta is a stylish, inventive tale of belonging from the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award winner Delicious Foods.

A bold statement when it's only the end of September, but I think this will be my top read of 2022. I thought this was an incredible novel: Carlotta's story had me totally engaged, her voice was pitch perfect and this novel was flawless. I found this impossible to put down and highly recommend it. All of the stars!
