AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK “A laugh-out-loud cultural comedy… This is the New Great American Novel and Danzy Senna has set the standard.”  – LA Times “Funny foxy and fleet…The jokes are good the punches land the dialogue is tart.” –Dwight Garner The New York Times A brilliant take on love and ambition failure and reinvention and the racial-identity-industrial complex from the bestselling author of Caucasia Jane has high hopes that her life is about to turn around. After a long precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets she and her family are living in luxury for a year house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane’s sabbatical giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel—a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband Lenny dubs her “mulatto War and Peace. ” Finally some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp. But things don’t work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood. When she finagles a meeting with Hampton Ford a hot producer with a major development deal at a streaming network he seems excited to work with a “real writer ” and together they begin to develop “the Jackie Robinson of biracial comedies.” Things finally seem to be going right for Jane—until they go terribly wrong. Funny piercing and page turning Colored Television is Senna’s most on-the-pulse ambitious and rewarding novel yet.
