Pick A Color by Souvankham Thammavongsa
Ning, a retired boxer who works in a nail salon under the name Susan, spends a single summer day tending to clients while watching the patterns of her work and the people around her. Quietly observant and sharply drawn, the story follows her navigation of anonymity, class, and the complicated ties with coworkers and customers, exploring identity, labor, and longing without revealing key plot details.
