HTML:<b>AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER<br /> A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK<br /> “A laugh-out-loud cultural comedy… This is the New Great American Novel, and Danzy Senna has set the standard.”  –<i>LA Times</i></b><br /> <br /> <b>“Funny, foxy and fleet…The jokes are good, the punches land, the dialogue is tart.” –Dwight Garner, <i>The New York Times</i><br /> A brilliant take on love and ambition, failure and reinvention, and the racial-identity-industrial complex from the bestselling author of <i>Caucasia</i></b><br /> Jane has high hopes that her life is about to turn around. After a long, precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets, she and her family are living in luxury for a year, house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane’s sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel—a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her “mulatto <i>War and Peace.</i>” Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp.<br /> But things don’t work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B, like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood. When she finagles a meeting with Hampton Ford, a hot producer with a major development deal at a streaming network, he seems excited to work with a “real writer,” and together they begin to develop “the Jackie Robinson of biracial comedies.” Things finally seem to be going right for Jane—until they go terribly wrong.<br /> Funny, piercing, and page turning, <i>Colored Television</i> is Senna’s most on-the-pulse, ambitious, and rewarding novel yet.
