We highly recommend Robert Jones Jr.'s debut, The Prophets: A Novel, which is officially out now! 

We've been waiting eagerly for the book to be released and are elated that it's now in store! Upon release, it instantly became a bestseller. 

Here's a sneak peek:

Robert Jones' writing has been hailed as an homage to Baldwin, and has also been compared to Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Esi Edugyan and Hanya Yanagihara. The Prophets more specifically has had parallels drawn with Yanagihara's longstanding bestseller and store favorite A Little Life! 

It's not just us who have been waiting eagerly for this book. It has been noted by the following institutions as well:
