 TOWN & COUNTRY, Must Read Books of Fall\n“Natasha Brown’s exquisite prose, daring structure and understated elegance are utterly captivating. She is a stunning new writer.”― 
BERNARDINE EVARISTO, Booker Prize-winning author of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER\n“Mind-bending and utterly original. 
Assembly is like Thomas Bernhard in the key of Rachel Cusk but about black subjectivity.” 
 ― 
BRANDON TAYLOR, author of REAL LIFE and FILTHY ANIMALS\n“The narrator of this tightly conceived and distinctively written debut novel is perceptive, precise and unsparing with her words…an elegiac examination of a Black woman’s life and an acerbic analysis of Britain’s racial landscape. Brown’s rhythmic, economic prose renders the narrator’s experiences with breathless clarity, especially the steady, gnawing stream of racial and sexual harassment she faces. At only 100 pages, the book moves at an almost dizzying speed… 
Assembly is a smart novel that takes risks with the questions it raises. I look forward to Brown’s next work, in which she might try — with the same refreshing conviction — to answer them.” 
 ― 
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW\n“[A] crisp debut...As well as being a shrewd exploration of the psychological toll of generational trauma and colonial legacies, the book is also, thanks to its biting humor, a broad criticism of the absurdity of contemporary life.”― 
THE NEW YORKER\n“The fall's biggest debut comes from a former banker in London, who delivers a brisk, affecting diary of a young Black woman contemplating an opt-out of capitalism and life entirely. It's 
Mrs. Dalloway for the burnout generation, the anticapitalism manifesto millennials have been waiting for.” 
 ― 
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (Best Books of September)\n“ 
Assembly is brilliant. Brown’s gaze is piercing. Each sentence is a perfectly polished jewel.”― 
AVNI DOSHI, author of BURNT SUGAR\n“A modern 
Mrs. Dalloway…a short sharp shock of a novel… 
 Assembly fulfils, with exquisite precision, Virginia Woolf’s exhortation to ‘record the atoms as they fall upon the mind in the order in which they fall’ …Text that is sparse on the page expands on consumption; it swell

Set apart from other eighteen-year-olds, Ana Hughes knows she is different. A life threatening heart condition smothers her future, and she yearns to feel normal. Her hopes are pinned on a fresh start in a remote town far from her native Colorado. Among the locker filled hallways in Clark Bend High, Ana keeps to the shadows, not wanting to draw attention to her violet tinged lips and wilted silhouette. And she almost succeeds, until she meets Chance Morgan. Struggling to keep up appearances, she soon suspects Chance is hiding something as well. His animal-like senses, miraculous healing ability and peculiar reaction to her Thunderbird necklace compels Ana to question if there’s more to the stories about his Navajo ancestry. Without any other explanation, she fears he is playing tricks on her. But the truth may prove too much for Ana’s delicate heart…

Damage to Victory: Secrets to My SonBy: Natasha Brown God, why do you hate me? The monsters hurt me again and again, and she won't help me. Isn't a mother supposed to protect her children? I know she knows what these beasts are doing to me and my sisters; she has to hear our cries. I want to die. I don't want to be this anymore. Enough. God, I have had enough, just let me die. I have to be better for my son. My past will not define my future. My immaculate conception, my first love, my one true victory, my reason for living, the love of my life will never know the feeling of degradation and self-hatred I felt the first time I realized that my mother did not love me enough to protect me nor did she care. That will not be my son's reality. Though my divine blessing was a product of rape, I will protect him with my life! God blessed me when he brought the Goldsteins in my life. These great people, my God-given parents, took this flawed hurt girl with all my thorns, self-hate, and rage and loved me to wellness. They brought me from damage to victory, and now it is time to tell my secrets to my son. About the Author Natasha Brown believes it takes a village to raise a child and has been part of that village for thirty years. She lives on a small country ranch in McAlester, Oklahoma, with her brother Larry Edwards-Brown, three dogs, and two horses. Her sister Sonya Brown is back living with her as she fights cervical cancer. Love, family gatherings, children and grandchildren, animals (especially her dog King), traveling, reading, writing, directing, theater, music, meeting new people, doing new things, prayer, and meditation keep her grounded.
