WINNER of The Republic of Consciousness Prize 2021.Lush and frothy, incisive and witty, Shola von Reinholds decadent queer literary debut immerses readers in the pursuit of aesthetics and beauty, while interrogating the removal and obscurement of Black figures from history.Solitary Mathilda has long been enamored with the Bright Young Things of the 20s, and throughout her life, her attempts at reinvention have mirrored their extravagance and artfulness. After discovering a photograph of the forgotten Black modernist poet Hermia Druitt, who ran in the same circles as the Bright Young Things that she adores, Mathilda becomes transfixed and resolves to learn as much as she can about the mysterious figure. Her search brings her to a peculiar artists residency in Dun, a small European town Hermia was known to have lived in during the 30s. The artists residency throws her deeper into a lattice of secrets and secret societies that takes hold of her aesthetic imagination, but will she be able to break the thrall of her Transfixions?From champagne theft and Black Modernisms, to art sabotage, alchemy and lotuseating protoluxury communist cults, Mathildas journey through modes of aesthetic expression guides her to truth and the convoluted ways it is made and obscured.
