His Story: A Seventeen-Year-Old's Story of Mustard Seed Faith

Finish This for Me

Praise for Real Life:&ldquo;[A] stunning debut . . . Taylor proves himself to be a keen observer of the psychology of not just trauma, but its repercussions. . . . There is a delicacy in the details of working in a lab full of microbes and pipettes that dances across the pages like the feet of a Cunningham dancer: pure, precise poetry.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Jeremy O. Harris, The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Equal parts captivating, erotic, smart and vivid . . . [rendered] with tenderness and complexity, from the first gorgeous sentence of his book to its very last . . . Taylor is also tackling loneliness, desire and&mdash;more than anything&mdash;finding purpose, meaning and happiness in one&rsquo;s own life.&rdquo; &mdash;Time&#160;&ldquo;[Real Life is] a sophisticated character study of someone squaring self-preservation with a duty to tolerate people who threaten it. The book teems with passages of transfixing description, and perhaps its greatest asset is the force of Wallace&rsquo;s isolation, which Taylor conveys with alien strangeness.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Yorker&#160;&ldquo;Real Life&#160;is a tender, deeply felt, perfectly paced novel about solitude and society, sexuality and race. It explores what the past means and, with brilliance and sympathy, dramatizes the intricacies of love and grief.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Colm T&oacute;ib&iacute;n&ldquo;A blistering coming of age story. . . [Taylor] is so deft at portraying the burdens that befall young queer people of color and the forces that often hamper true connection.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;O: The Oprah Magazine&ldquo;Brandon Taylor emerges as a powerhouse . . . . In tender, intimate and distinctive writing, Taylor explores race, sexuality and desire with a cast of unforgettable characters.&rdquo; &mdash;Newsweek&ldquo;A pleasure . . . So well written I felt like I was watching the events, rather than just reading the prose.&rdquo; &mdash;NPR&ldquo;[A] classical ideal of a novel&#160;. . .&#160;Every scene, every dialogue, fits perfectly over a hall-of-famer first sentence[,] delicate interlocking layers of story that build satisfyingly up and out around Wallace, his father, and his friends.&rdquo; &mdash;The Paris Review&ldquo;A perfect, meditative read.&rdquo; &ndash; USA TODAY&ldquo;Both calm and quiet and furiously dramatic, internal and external, Real Life moves like, well, real life&mdash;but with a key difference. Real life itself can be super boring. But Real Life . . . is utterly captivating all the way through.&rdquo; &#160;&mdash;Isaac Fitzgerald, The Today Show &ldquo;Taylor&rsquo;s vivid characterization is punishingly effective; his essayistic insights into cultural dynamics and their impact hold searing power. Erotic and ambiguous&#160;[and]&#160;hard to shake.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;&#160;Entertainment Weekly&ldquo;One of the best debut novels in recent memory. . . . [Real Life] leaves the reader spinning. In a good way.&rdquo; &mdash;Shondaland&ldquo;Shattering.&rdquo; &mdash;Elle&ldquo;With the rigour of the laboratory, Taylor wields scalpel-like prose, putting human behaviours under the microscope . . . precise and masterly.&rdquo; &mdash;Financial Times&ldquo;What&#160;Taylor does next will be worth watching.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;The Washington Post&#160;&ldquo;A novel of quiet, startling power.&rdquo; &mdash;Harper&rsquo;s Bazaar&#160;&ldquo;Taylor avoids cliches around campus living and instead&mdash;through various interpersonal and institutional scuffles&mdash;offers a look at the relentless erosion of dignity many students of color experience at college. &mdash;SELF&ldquo;Psychologically compelling, incisively satirical, told in a muted style that nevertheless accesses a full emotional range, this is a brilliant book, worthy of a wide audience.&rdquo; &mdash;The Guardian&ldquo;A profound look at the depths of desire, knowledge and prejudice . . . a refreshing take on the traditional campus novel.&rdquo; &mdash;VICE&ldquo;Taylor&rsquo;s debut is of a rare and vital sort. . . . Taylor&rsquo;s grip on the subtle movements of the human heart and psyche is masterful.&rdquo; &mdash;Huffington Post &ldquo;Astonishingly accomplished . . . Even at its darkest moments,&#160;Real Life&#160;is a piercingly beautiful book. In tracing the fault-lines that rip through Wallace&rsquo;s emotional world, Brandon Taylor has written a truly exquisite story of love, sex, death, and microbes that is both intimate and expansive.&rdquo; &#160;&mdash;Times Literary Supplement&#160; &ldquo;The writer who came most to mind as I read&#160;Real Life&#160;was James Baldwin, especially the erotic Baldwin, attuned to social pressure and violence, and deeply committed to the power, the uneasy force, of sex. . . . The exquisite tension in Taylor&rsquo;s litany of physical details underscores the harshness that threatens the scene&rsquo;s placid surface. . . . The details here have the savor of the real.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Bookforum&ldquo;Real Life&#160;is a great American novel, a great college novel, a great summer novel, a great queer novel, a great novel of life as it has always been lived by young people waiting for their 'real life' to begin,&#160;and just a really, really great novel. . . .&#160;It's the best novel I&rsquo;ve read this year.'&rdquo; &mdash;Dazed&ldquo;Brandon Taylor&rsquo;s&#160;Real Life&#160;doubles as a great grad student novel (most attempts trade in stereotypes; this offers the real, complicated, dark thing) and a great, positively&#160;Persuasion-like novel about the relationship between consciousness and embodiment.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Commonweal&ldquo;A poignant, exacting story. . . .&#160;Taylor is an extraordinary cartographer of Wallace&rsquo;s loneliness, crafting a finely wrought story of academia, intimacy, and identity.&rdquo; &mdash;Esquire&ldquo;Real Life&#160;asks questions many of us shy from: Who is entitled to pain? How useful is an apology? Can sharing our feelings free us from them? . . . Amid the flurry of new novels drifting down like so many balloons,&#160;Real Life&#160;is the one weighted with confetti.&rdquo; &#160;&mdash;The Paris Review "Taylor brings the precision of a scientist to his descriptions of Wallace&rsquo;s desires and defenses. . . . [capturing]&#160;the ennui of those caught between the lure and the loneliness of academic science, trapped in an existence that doesn&rsquo;t qualify as a 'real life.'" &mdash;Forbes"Astounding." &mdash;LA Review of Books&ldquo;[Taylor] is as keen an observer as his subject is, and he writes with extraordinary precision: about the academy, and queerness, and race, and trauma, and ambivalent friendship, and desire. About all the things that, put together, make up something approaching real life.&rdquo;&#160;&#160;&mdash;Constance Grady, Vox&ldquo;Taylor shares a talent for acerbic social commentary and smart&#160;dialogue with fellow &lsquo;campus novelist&rsquo; Sally Rooney. . . . a deeply moving study of race, grief and desire.&rdquo; &mdash;The Sunday Times&ldquo;Real Life poignantly illustrates the dissonance of not feeling accepted or understood at an institution that aggressively markets itself as immaculately progressive.&rdquo; &mdash;The Guardian&ldquo;A&#160;literary breakthrough.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;Interview  &ldquo;Brandon Taylor&rsquo;s bravura first novel&hellip; shines a vital light on race, class and sexuality, and in doing so leaves his reader in no doubt as to his unique voice and talent.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;&#160;Minneapolis Star-Tribune&#160;  &ldquo;Taylor's writing is vibrant as much as it is brutal in its elegance and poignancy&rdquo; &ndash;&#160;Paper  &ldquo;A&#160;masterful debut.&rdquo; &ndash; LAMBDA Literary&#160; &ldquo;A&#160;book wonderfully observant on the toxicity of whiteness, and a reminder of what even the smallest racial slights can do to the body and mind.&rdquo; &ndash;&#160;Wired&#160; &ldquo;As a stylist Taylor has, sentence by sentence, crafted an experience of bone-deep pleasure for the reader that stands not at odds with the melancholy of the tone of Wallace's story but in loving support of it. The penultimate chapter alone is a knockout, and its end would have been a magnificent closing for the book had the actual final sentence, a few pages later, not surpassed it.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Salon&ldquo;In the character of Wallace[,] readers are gifted one of the most compelling and original characters in recent memory.&rdquo;&#160;&#160;&mdash;The&#160;Advocate&ldquo;No one with a former life as a biochemist should be able to write a novel as devastatingly good as&#160;Real Life&#160;is, but here we are.&rdquo; &mdash;Thrillist&ldquo;The most indelible stories will not prepare us for heartbreak, and Brandon Taylor&rsquo;s debut novel&#160;is merciless in this way. . . .&#160;I&rsquo;ve dreamt for eons of a novel to depict gay Black men, rich with feeling and desire, reclaiming their narrative from the throes of whiteness. Without a doubt,&#160;Real Life&#160;is the first great novel this decade will ever see.&rdquo; &mdash; Paris Close, Paperback Paris&ldquo;Brandon Taylor won 2020. His debut book came out in February and it is still always on the tip of my tongue when someone asks for a recommendation. He crafted such a quiet moody book that is somehow more explosive than an action-packed thriller.&rdquo;&#160;&#160;&mdash;Debutiful&ldquo;The best portrayal of an introvert&rsquo;s inner and outer life in recent memory. With smooth prose and a deeply nuanced protagonist,&#160;Real Life is one of those timeless stories that also perfectly captures a generational moment.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;LitHub&#160;&ldquo;Just as Sally Rooney&rsquo;s second novel perfectly captures the intimacies of a young relationship, Brandon Taylor&rsquo;s provocative debut tests the boundaries put in place by a queer, black graduate student.&rdquo; &mdash;Bookpage&ldquo;Taylor is a writer who really gets the indignities of inhabiting a human body, how the physical is so intimately tied to the emotional. . . . Wallace is a heady mix of judgmental and vulnerable, and it&rsquo;s hard not to root for him even if he decides to blow his life up.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Vulture&ldquo;Brandon Taylor&rsquo;s long-anticipated debut novel tackles timely issues while introducing a compelling protagonist who will stick with you long after the final page.&rdquo; &mdash;Paste&ldquo;One of those books that perfectly captures a generational moment while also feeling timeless.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Sarah Neilson, Them &ldquo;Taylor&rsquo;s perceptive, challenging exploration of the many kinds of emotional costs will resonate with readers looking for complex characters and rich prose.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Breathlessly physical . . . steadily exciting and affecting . . . [a] charged experience.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist (starred review)&ldquo;There is writing so exceptional, so intricately crafted that it demands reverence. The intimate prose of Brandon Taylor&rsquo;s exquisite debut novel, Real Life, offers exactly that kind of writing. He writes so powerfully about so many things&mdash;the perils of graduate education, blackness in a predominantly white setting, loneliness, desire, trauma, need. Wallace, the man at the center of this novel, is written with nuance and tenderness and complexity. . . . Truly, this is stunning work from a writer who wields his craft in absolutely unforgettable ways.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Roxane Gay&ldquo;The affections and disaffections of grad school life are shot through with the searing experience of white racial presumption and blindness in Brandon Taylor&rsquo;s vivid and exacting&#160;Real Life.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Adam Haslett&ldquo;This book blew my head and heart off. For a debut novelist to disentangle and rebraid intimacy, terror, and joy this finely seems like a myth. But that, and so much more, is what Brandon Taylor has done in Real Life. The future of the novel is here and Brandon Taylor is that future&rsquo;s name.&rdquo; &mdash;Kiese Laymon &ldquo;Real Life is a gorgeous work of art, and the introduction of a singular new voice. Through Wallace, the book explores the tension of a person trying to become himself while surrounded by people who can see him only as their own projection. Even as Brandon Taylor dives beneath the level of polite surface interaction and into the ache of what people conceal from one another, or reveal only as weaponry, his sharply rendered observations make it a true pleasure to spend time in this book&rsquo;s world.&rdquo; &mdash;Danielle Evans &ldquo;Real Life is one of the finest fiction debuts I've read in the last decade&mdash;elegant and brutal, handled by an author whose attention to the heart is unlike any other's. A magnificent novel.&rdquo; &mdash;Esm&eacute; Weijun Wang&#160;&ldquo;A few summer days, a group of friends, a difficult intimacy&mdash;with the simplest materials,&#160;Real Life&#160;reveals the knives we pocket in good intentions, our constant, communal sabotage of love. Brandon Taylor&rsquo;s genius lies in the elaboration of ever more revelatory gradations of feeling; in his extraordinary debut he invents new tools for navigating the human dark in which we know one another. He is a brilliant writer, and this is a beautiful book.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Garth Greenwell

Defects in Nanocrystals concentrates on the physicochemical properties of nanostructured semiconductors. Although properties of materials are enhanced in nanostructures and nanocrystals due to the higher proportion of surfaces compared to the situation characteristic of bulk materials, the differing properties are further influenced by defects in the nanocrystals. This situation is summarized in the conclusion of Chapter 1 as "small is beautiful and useful." The physics and thermodynamics of nanostructures are discussed in Chapter 2, the preparation and properties of nanocrystalline silicon materials in Chapter 3, and other materials in Chapter 4. Optical properties of defects in semiconductor nanomaterials are then covered in Chapter 5. The literature of nanomaterials is massive and the author has been selectively inclusive. The audience for this work would include scholars and professionals concerned with the analysis and technology of nanocrystalline semiconductor materials.
