RaveThe Chicago Review of Books\"...every Brandon Taylor character is a complex mess in the best possible way. Wyeth continues Taylor’s legacy of these characters, but with an even more refined—and often, even more crushing—lens. And through this lens, Taylor forges perhaps the most compelling story of life under the weight of opinion and perception that I’ve read ... Taylor tells a story about appreciating complexity—of curiosity and examination—rather than echoing an opinion and covering one’s eyes. While the world buzzes with opinions louder and simpler by the day, Minor Black Figures—like much of Taylor’s best work—encourages introspection, understanding, and an appreciation of intricacy. The world is here, Taylor shows us—sophisticated, difficult, and gorgeous—as long as you’re willing to look at it for more than a few seconds.\
