HTML:<b>A bold novel about a black painter caught up in the currents of art, faith, and desire.<br /></b><br /> New York simmers with heat and unrest as Wyeth, a painter, finds himself at an impasse in his own work.<br /> After attending a dubious show put on by a collective of careerist artists, he retreats to a bar in the West Village where he meets Keating, a former seminarian. Over the long summer, as the two get to know each another, they talk and argue about God, sex, and art.<br /> Meanwhile, at his job working for an art restorer, Wyeth begins to investigate the life and career of a forgotten, minor black artist. His search yields potential answers to questions that Wyeth is only now beginning to ask about what it means to be a black artist making black art amid the mess and beauty of life itself.<br /> As he did so brilliantly in the Booker Prize finalist <i>Real Life</i> and the bestselling <i>The Late Americans</i>, Brandon Taylor brings alive a captivating set of characters, this time at work and at play in the competitive art world. <i>Minor Black Figures</i> is a vividly etched portrait, both sweeping and tender, of friendship, creativity, belief, and the deep connections among them.
