AWW22 The Other Black Girl - Zakiya Dalila Harris

Chaired by Linda Jaivin.


Zakiya Dalila Harris’s The Other Black Girl was one of the
buzziest books of 2021. When new employee Hazel-May joins Wagner
Books, editorial assistant Nella is thrilled she’ll have a Black
ally. But she soon finds herself eclipsed by the charismatic
newcomer, and when she starts receiving anonymous notes
entreating her to leave Wagner, things take a sinister turn. Part
office satire, part thriller with a twist, this audacious debut
is hilarious, unsettling and a compulsive read.
