Longlisted for the 2025 JOYCE CAROL OATES LITERARY PRIZE, the NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE FICTION PRIZE, the CARNEGIE MEDAL 2025 and the 2025 PEN\/FAULKNER AWARD FOR FICTION. Named a Best Book of 2024 by  TIME  , NPR, THE  LOS ANGELES TIMES , THE  NEW YORK POST , ELECTRIC LITERARTURE,  OPRAH DAILY  and more! 'I LOVED this fresh, funny story . . . A true page-turner'  Daily Mail 'Hilarious'  Raven Leilani, author of  Luster '[A] gem from Danzy Senna . . . perceptive and bitingly funny'  Vanity Fair 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 War and Peace.\" Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp. 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. Funny, piercing, and page turning,  Colored Television  is Senna's most on-the-pulse, ambitious and rewarding novel yet. Reader reviews: 'A  fantastic  novel . . . funny and ironic and clever' 'A clever satire of the entertainment industry and the compromises artists sometimes make.  If you enjoyed  Yellowface , you'll likely appreciate Senna's ability to blend humour with uncomfortable truths ' 'This is so  sharp \u0026amp; funny \u0026amp; MESSY  . . . I could not wait to see how this one turned out and had a ball reading it' 'Provides a very gripping commentary on both the literary and television world . . . The story  takes such an unexpected turn, and once it does I truly couldn't put it down '","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48423699316955,"sku":"9780349705033-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/13e53de0-4626-44c2-b609-3ebdc9bbe17f.jpg?v=1773750289","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780349705033-secondhand-colored-television-winner-of-the-anisfield-wolf-book-award-2025","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
