Description

 							
  
  Kenya Curtis
is only eight years old, but she knows that she’s different, even if she can’t put her finger on how or
why. It’s not because she’s black—most of the other students in the fourth-grade class at her West
Philadelphia elementary school are too. Maybe it’s because she celebrates Kwanzaa, or because she’s
forbidden from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Maybe it’s because she calls her father—a
housepainter-slash-philosopher—“Baba” instead of “Daddy,” or because her parents’
friends gather to pour out libations “from the Creator, for the Martyrs” and discuss “the
community.”
  
   Kenya does know that it’s connected to what her Baba calls “the shame of
being alive”—a shame that only grows deeper and more complex over the course of Asali Solomon’s
long-awaited debut novel. Disgruntled, effortlessly funny and achingly poignant, follows Kenya from West Philadelphia to
the suburbs, from public school to private, from childhood through adolescence, as she grows increasingly disgruntled by
her inability to find any place or thing or person that feels like home.
   A coming-of-age tale, a portrait of
Philadelphia in the late eighties and early nineties, an examination of the impossible double-binds of race, Disgruntled
is a novel about the desire to rise above the limitations of the narratives we’re given and the painful struggle
to craft fresh ones we can call our own.
  
  
  “An air of dissatisfaction pervades this
unsentimental portrait of one girl's rocky journey to adulthood, in an impressive debut novel from Solomon . . . The
perpetual outsider, Kenya searches for her places in society as she bounces between schools, friend groups, and family
members. Her incisive commentary is both arresting and painful, despite her ongoing dissatisfaction. This is a
bildingsroman with a kick.” —Publishers Weekly
  
  “Disgruntled is tender, hilarious,
perfectly remembered and rendered, that rare book that is both wildly imaginative and thrillingly true to life. Get Down
established Asali Solomon as one of the finest writers of her generation; Disgruntled narrows it down to one of the
finest writers alive.” —Elizabeth McCracken, author of Thunderstruck & Other Stories
   
 
“What’s childhood? It’s when you don’t know things. What things? The things you learn in
childhood. This paradox is the heartbeat of Asali Solomon’s moving, tough-minded novel, which talks about all of
it: family ties, highs and lows, pop culture, work, race, love, and all the other things that make up life.”
—Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson
  
  “Preternaturally observant and mordantly funny,
Kenya is a hypnotic narrator coping valiantly with an increasingly bewildering life . . . navigating the chill of a
private, primarily white high school and dreaming of college. Solomon’s cultural references resound, her dialogue
stings, and the intricate and surprising relationships she choreographs are saturated with racial, sexual, and political
quandaries of intimate and epochal repercussions . . . Deft, knowing, bold, and witty.” —Donna Seaman,
Booklist (starred review)
