Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A young woman moves to New York City for what promises to be a dream job. Displaced, she feels unsure of her fit in the world. Then comes a look of recognition, a gesture of friendship from an older woman named Greta who shares the same difficult-to-place color of skin. On common ground, a tenuous alliance grows between two women in racial limbo. So too, does the older woman's unnerving obsession, leading to a collision of two lives spiraling out of control. A beautifully written novel, at once suspenseful, erotic, and tantalizingly clever, Symptomatic is a groundbreaking contribution to the literature of racial identity. Synopsis:First time in paperback--the bestselling novel from the acclaimed author of Caucasia. Synopsis:Senna's bestselling novel of acute psychological tension and unsettling questions of identity--the much anticipated follow-up to her groundbreaking debut "Caucasia"--is now in paperback. About the AuthorDanzy Senna's first novel, Caucasia, was the winner of the Book-of-the-Month Club's Stephen Crane Award for First Fiction and an American Library Association Alex Award.
