"If Tom Wolfe, Jay McInerney, and Margo Jefferson somehow collaborated, this might have been the delightful result." -- Boris Kachka, The Atlantic "A debut that shouts its arrival and a novel that thrills while making you think.

Bell, NPR.org "For those who enjoy gritty realism and gorgeous writing." -- Toni Fitzgerald, Forbes (25 Must-Read Books To Add To Your 2025 Summer List) "It's thrilling to see any author today aiming for the big stuff all at once: death, race, sex, class, addiction. It's beyond thrilling--incandescent, even--when a writer like Rob Franklin comes along with the formal virtuosity to carry those lofty conceptual ambitions. Franklin's prose is eminently readable, frequently laugh-out-loud funny, and full of sentences I want to cut out and glue to my forehead. This book is so smart, so moving, so earned; as soon as I finished, I started reading it again." --Kaveh Akbar, New York Times bestselling author of Martyr!, "Great Black Hope is at once a novel of crime--with a gripping pace, propelled by a question that needs answering--and a timeless coming of age story." --Rumaan Alam, author of Entitlement, Rob Franklin's prose is rich, mesmerizing, and utterly gorgeous. Through each remarkable sentence, Franklin takes you through a meditation on one Black queer man's struggle with the confinement of his choices under the magnifying glass of wealthy America., Smart, scintillating... Subjects that might make for solemn reading are rendered thoroughly absorbing by the author's radiant prose and razor-sharp observations. A captivating novel of dissolution and redemption., "Smart, scintillating...

Wow wow wow." --Elin Hilderbrand, author of Swan Song, Great Black Hope is at once a novel of crime--with a gripping pace, propelled by a question that needs answering--and a timeless coming of age story., What a marvel to discover a voice so authentic, urgent, and undeniable.

Synopsis
"Incandescent...full of sentences I want to cut out and glue to my forehead." --Kaveh Akbar, New York Times bestselling author of Martyr! "A novel of crime--with a gripping pace, propelled by a question that needs answering--and a timeless coming-of-age story." --Rumaan Alam, bestselling author of Entitlement "A masterpiece...At once fresh and original while delighting the reader with hints of Franzen, McInerny, Baldwin. This novel--a whodunit, a coming-of-age, a New York novel--heralds the arrival of a rarefied talent." --Elin Hilderbrand, bestselling author of Swan Song A gripping, elegant debut novel about a young Black man caught between worlds of race and class, glamour and tragedy, a friend's mysterious death and his own arrest, from an electrifying new voice. An arrest for cocaine possession on the last day of a sweltering New York summer leaves Smith, a queer Black Stanford graduate, in a state of turmoil. Pulled into the court system and mandated treatment, he finds himself in an absurd but dangerous situation: his class protects him, but his race does not. It's just weeks after the death of his beloved roommate Elle, the daughter of a famous soul singer, and he's still reeling from the tabloid spectacle--as well as lingering questions around how well he really knew his closest friend. He flees to his hometown of Atlanta, only to buckle under the weight of expectations from his family of doctors and lawyers and their history in America. But when Smith returns to New York, it's not long before he begins to lose himself to his old life--drawn back into the city's underworld, where his search for answers may end up costing him his freedom and his future. Smith goes on a dizzying journey through the nightlife circuit, anonymous recovery rooms, Atlanta's Black society set, police investigations and courtroom dramas, and a circle of friends coming of age in a new era. Great Black Hope is a propulsive, glittering story about what it means to exist between worlds, to be upwardly mobile yet spiraling downward, and how to find a way back to hope., "If Tom Wolfe, Jay McInerney, and Margo Jefferson somehow collaborated, this might have been the delightful result." --Boris Kachka, The Atlantic "Incandescent...full of sentences I want to cut out and glue to my forehead." --Kaveh Akbar, New York Times bestselling author of Martyr!
