內容簡介 【誠品選書】錯誤、謊言、不安,一位「真正」作家的肖像美國作家塞納以一齣黑色喜劇精準刻劃身為當代文學創作者的困境。黑白混血的創意寫作教授終於在教學、育兒的夾縫中,完成了堪稱混血版《戰爭與和平》的代表作,堅信人生將就此翻轉的她,在書稿被拒後,只能向命運低頭,加入過往不屑一顧的好萊塢行列,和金牌製作人聯手開發混血情境喜劇;然而一連串的道德瑕疵,卻讓看似成功的開局急轉直下。"A riveting and exhilarating novel about making art and selling out…Senna is one of this country’s most thrilling writers.” –Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World BehindA brilliant dark comedy about love and ambition, failure and reinvention, and the racial- identity-industrial complex from the bestselling author of CaucasiaJane has high hopes that her life is about to turn around. After a long, precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets, she and her family are living in luxury for a year, house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane’s sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel—a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her “mulatto War and Peace.” Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp.But things don’t work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B, like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood. When she finagles a meeting with Hampton Ford, a hot producer with a major development deal at a streaming network, he seems excited to work with a “real writer,” and together they begin to develop “the Jackie Robinson of biracial comedies.” Things finally seem to be going right for Jane—until they go terribly wrong.Funny, piercing, and page turning, Colored Television is Senna’s most on-the-pulse, ambitious, and rewarding novel yet.
