  1. 1. Sterling Karat Gold

    Sterling Karat Gold follows Sterling, who is suddenly arrested despite having done nothing wrong, and — with three close friends — navigates a surreal, often absurd system of authority to clear their name. The novel examines the effects of state violence on gender‑nonconforming, working‑class, and Black people, and emphasizes community, creativity and refusal to be silenced as forms of resistance.
