520    " Open Water  is tender poetry, a love song to Black art 
       and thought, an exploration of intimacy and vulnerability 
       between two young artists learning to be soft with each 
       other in a world that hardens against Black people."—Yaa 
       Gyasi, author of HOMEGOING   In a crowded London pub, two 
       young people meet. Both are Black British, both won 
       scholarships to private schools where they struggled to 
       belong, both are now artists—he a photographer, she a 
       dancer—and both are trying to make their mark in a world 
       that by turns celebrates and rejects them. Tentatively, 
       tenderly, they fall in love. But two people who seem 
       destined to be together can still be torn apart by fear 
       and violence, and over the course of a year they find 
       their relationship tested by forces beyond their control. 
       Narrated with deep intimacy,  Open Water  is at once an 
       achingly beautiful love story and a potent insight into 
       race and masculinity that asks what it means to be a 
       person in a world that sees you only as a Black body; to 
       be vulnerable when you are only respected for strength; to
       find safety in love, only to lose it. With gorgeous, 
       soulful intensity, and blistering emotional intelligence, 
       Caleb Azumah Nelson gives a profoundly sensitive portrait 
       of romantic love in all its feverish waves and comforting 
       beauty.   This is one of the most essential debut novels 
       of recent years, heralding the arrival of a stellar and 
       prodigious young talent.
