Sara Novic is the real deal.” -Jami Attenberg, author of All This Could Be Yours I was in awe of the care and love and hard-won wisdom that went into the writing of it. “Reading True Biz was a transformative experience-it’s as important a book as I’ve read in years. I entered a world I knew too little about, at once different from mine and of course the same. I will be recommending this book to absolutely everyone.” -Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of This Is How It Always Is and One Two Three It’s about belonging versus conforming, individual strength alongside solidarity. It’s about the ways communities are bound but also the ways they bind. “This is my favorite kind of novel, fascinating and smart and brimming with contrasts. It’s a coming-of-age story but also one of anarchy and protest. “Rollicking, immersive, and boldly, exquisitely felt, True Biz delves into the deepest questions about community, communication, and collective action, inviting the reader into a world of language made new.” -Alexandra Kleeman, author of Something New Under the Sun
This is brilliant.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Nović offers an unforgettable homage to resilience. “An electrifying narrative set at a present-day boarding school for Deaf high school students, where they find love and friendship and battle a series of injustices. “Part tender coming-of-age story, part electrifying tale of political awakening, part heartfelt love letter to Deaf culture, True Biz is wholly a wonder. Sara Nović examines the ways language can include, exclude, or help forge an identity-as well as what it means to carve out a place for yourself in a world that sees you as other.” -Celeste Ng, New York Times bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere “Tender, beautiful, and radiantly outraged….This important novel should-true biz-change minds and transform the conversation.” - Maile Meloy, the New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)
