AMERICANS follows a group of young queer artists/writers/dancers living in Iowa. With evocative prose, Taylor explores how these flawed individuals experience life and express their humanity across various socioeconomic statuses and careers.

At its core, AMERICANS is a testament to the beauty of the human experience. Through Taylor's masterful storytelling, the readers are immersed in the characters' lives, witnessing their joys, struggles, desires, and sometimes questionable decisions.

I adore Taylor's quiet and introspective writing, allowing readers to connect deeply with the characters. In particular, the portrayal of individuals from diverse classes/professions highlights the complex dynamics that arise from different backgrounds, adding depth to the narrative and presenting a nuanced exploration of identity, ambition, and the pursuit of artistic expression.

I listened to AMERICANS on audiobook but ended up purchasing a physical copy to better experience Taylor's exquisite writing
