Beings by Ilana Masad
Beings follows three interwoven stories: an interracial couple who in 1961 claim a strange encounter that shapes their lives, a young science‑fiction writer named Phyllis whose letters to her beloved Rosa explore queer longing and community in the 1960s, and a reclusive Archivist in the present day who becomes obsessed with piecing together these fragments. Through archives, memories, and testimony, the novel examines trauma, desire, and how stories reshape what we call truth—without revealing the mysteries at its center.
