Robert Jones Jr.’s THE PROPHETS is enjoying a wealth of praise from Kirkus, Linda's Book Bag, Paperback Paris, and Beyond the Bookends. Kirkus calls the book “an ambitious, imaginative, and important tale of Black queerness through history,” while Linda’s Book Bag writes: “Robert Jones Jr’s writing is sumptuous, even when he is describing the most unpalatable scenes or truths. Descriptions are vivid, poetic and haunting and each seems imbued with emotional depth making for a truly remarkable read.” Jones Jr. was also interviewed by Late Night Lit, the Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast. G.P. Putnam’s Sons published the book on January 5, 2021.
