“Rowan Hisayo Buchanan’s debut is a beautifully textured novel, befitting the story of an artist. . . Yuki’s story feels compellingly immediate, as prickly & unpredictable as itsprotagonist” —Washington Post

“The kind of novel our century deserves—a brilliantly conceived, beautifully written transnational novel about multiracial identity, motherhood, the struggle to be an artist, & the struggle to belong to your family. This marks the debut of an important new voice in fiction.” — Alexander Chee, author of The Queen of the Night

°°°

Written in startlingly beautiful prose, Harmless Like You is set across New York, Connecticut, & Berlin, following Yuki Oyama, a Japanese girl fighting to make it as an artist, & Yuki's son Jay who, as an adult in the present day, is forced to confront his mother's abandonment of him when he was only two years old.

The novel opens when Yuki is sixteen & her father is posted back to Japan. Though she and her family have been living as outsiders in New York City, Yuki opts to stay, intoxicated by her friendship with the beautiful aspiring model Odile, the energy of the city, and her desire to become an artist. But when she becomes involved with an older man and the relationship turns destructive, Yuki's life is unmoored. 

Harmless Like You is a suspenseful novel about the complexities of identity, art, adolescent friendships, & familial bonds that asks--and ultimately answers--how does a mother desert her son?
