Product Information
As seen on the cover of the New York Times Book Review , where it was described as "gloriously unsettling... evoking Toni Morrison, Haruki Murakami, Angela Carter, Edgar Allan Poe, Gabriel Garc a M rquez, Chris Abani and even Emily Dickinson," and already one of the year's most widely acclaimed novels: "Helen Oyeyemi has fully transformed from a literary prodigy into a powerful, distinctive storyteller...Transfixing and surprising."-- Entertainment Weekly (Grade: A) "I don't care what the magic mirror says; Oyeyemi is the cleverest in the land...daring and unnerving... Under Oyeyemi's spell, the fairy-tale conceit makes a brilliant setting in which to explore the alchemy of racism, the weird ways in which identity can be transmuted in an instant -- from beauty to beast or vice versa." - Ron Charles, The Washington Post From the prizewinning author of What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours, Gingerbread, and Peaces comes a brilliant recasting of the Snow White fairy tale as a story of family secrets, race, beauty, and vanity. In the winter of 1953, Boy Novak arrives by chance in a small town in Massachusetts looking, she believes, for beauty--the opposite of the life she's left behind in New York. She marries Arturo Whitman, a local widower, and becomes stepmother to his winsome daughter, Snow. A wicked stepmother is a creature Boy never imagined she'd become, but elements of the familiar tale of aesthetic obsession begin to play themselves out when the birth of Boy's daughter, Bird, who is dark-skinned, exposes the Whitmans as light-skinned African-Americans passing for white. And even as Boy, Snow, and Bird are divided, their estrangement is complicated by an insistent curiosity about one another. In seeking an understanding that is separate from the image each presents to the world, Boy, Snow, and Bird confront the tyranny of the mirror to ask how much power surfaces really hold. Dazzlingly inventive and powerfully moving , Boy, Snow, Bird is an astonishing and enchanting novel. With breathtaking feats of imagination, Helen Oyeyemi confirms her place as one of the most original and dynamic literary voices of our time.

Reviews
"Helen Oyeyemi is a freaking genius. Her books are so bizarre and brilliant… Write this one down somewhere you'll remember like your forehead because you don't want to miss it." -Bookriot Praise for Mr. Fox "Oyeyemi's writing is gorgeous and resonant and fresh . . . a shimmering landscape pulsating with life." -Aimee Bender, The New York Times Book Review "Startling, beautiful . . . [ Mr. Fox ] should not be ignored." -M. E. Collins, Chicago Sun-Times "Oyeyemi has an eye for the gently perverse, the odd detail that turns the ordinary marvelously, frighteningly strange." -Jenny Hendrix, The Boston Globe "Dazzling." -Kerry Fried, The Washington Post, "Riveting, brilliant and emotionally rich…with fully realized characters, startling images, original observations and revelatory truths, this masterpiece engages the reader's heart and mind as it captures both the complexities of racial and gender identity in the 20th century and the more intimate complexities of love in all its guises." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Oyeyemi wields her words with economy and grace, and she rounds out her story with an inventive plot and memorable characters." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Helen Oyeyemi is a freaking genius. Her books are so bizarre and brilliant… Write this one down somewhere you'll remember like your forehead because you don't want to miss it." -Bookriot Praise for Mr. Fox "Oyeyemi's writing is gorgeous and resonant and fresh . . . a shimmering landscape pulsating with life." -Aimee Bender, The New York Times Book Review "Startling, beautiful . . .

Collins, Chicago Sun-Times "Oyeyemi has an eye for the gently perverse, the odd detail that turns the ordinary marvelously, frighteningly strange." -Jenny Hendrix, The Boston Globe "Dazzling." -Kerry Fried, The Washington Post, "With her fifth novel, 29-year-old Helen Oyeyemi has fully transformed from a literary prodigy into a powerful, distinctive storyteller…[ Boy, Snow, Bird is] transfixing and surprising." - Entertainment Weekly "The outline of [Oyeyemi's] remarkable career glimmers with pixie dust... Her latest novel, Boy, Snow, Bird , continues on this bewitching path…the atmosphere of fantasy lingers over these pages like some intoxicating incense….Under Oyeyemi's spell, the fairy-tale conceit makes a brilliant setting in which to explore the alchemy of racism, the weird ways in which identity can be transmuted in an instant - from beauty to beast or vice versa." -Ron Charles, The Washington Post " By transforming 'Snow White' into a tale that hinges on race and cultural ideas about beauty - the danger of mirrors indeed - Oyeyemi finds a new, raw power in the classic. In her hands, the story is about secrets and lies, mothers and daughters, lost sisters and the impossibility of seeing oneself or being seen in a brutally racist world… [Oyeyemi] elegantly and inventively turns a classic fairy tale inside out." - Los Angeles Times "Oyeyemi is something rare - a born novelist, who gets better every book. Boy, Snow, Bird is an enchanting retelling of Snow White that mixes questions of beauty and vanity with issues of race." - Cosmopolitan "[ Boy, Snow, Bird ] explores powerful themes, such as self-perception, race relations, and the role appearance plays in relationships." - Real Simple "Riveting, brilliant and emotionally rich…with fully realized characters, startling images, original observations and revelatory truths, this masterpiece engages the reader's heart and mind as it captures both the complexities of racial and gender identity in the 20th century and the more intimate complexities of love in all its guises." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Oyeyemi wields her words with economy and grace, and she rounds out her story with an inventive plot and memorable characters." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Helen Oyeyemi is a freaking genius. Her books are so bizarre and brilliant… Write this one down somewhere you'll remember like your forehead because you don't want to miss it." -Bookriot " Boy, Snow, Bird is Helen Oyeyemi's fifth novel, and it just might be her finest. It's certainly her most readily accessible…. How [her characters] try and tragically fail to relate to one another proves particularly powerful, as exemplified by the perversely gratifying last act…I couldn't have stopped reading at this point if I'd wanted to.… a beautiful book." - Tor.com "Commanding and incisive… However strong your sense of personal identity, Boy, Snow, Bird is likely, if you're reading it right, to make you a bit uncomfortable in your own skin, and that's quite an achievement." - The Grio "Named as one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists in 2013, Helen Oyeyemi confidently justifies that accolade with her fifth novel, a powerful intertwining of fairytale and reality. Like all the best fairytales, its deceptively simple surface slowly shifts to reveal dark and troubling truths underneath….Oyeyemi is a master of langua≥ her writing is beautiful and precise, and her ability to hide deep meaning in unassuming words is breathtaking…This is a bewitching book, in every way." - The List (UK) Praise for Mr. Fox "Oyeyemi's writing is gorgeous and resonant and fresh . . . a shimmering landscape pulsating with life." -Aimee Bender, The New York Times Book Review "Startling, beautiful . . . [ Mr. Fox ] should not be ignored." -M. E. Collins, Chicago Sun-Times "Oyeyemi has an eye for the gently perverse, the odd detail that turns the ordinary marvelously, frighteningly strange." -Jenny Hendrix, The Boston Globe "Dazzling." -Kerry Fried, The Washington Post
