When the Harvest Comes

When the Harvest Comes

Denne Michele Norris

When the Harvest Comes is the eagerly awaited debut novel by Denne Michele Norris, editor-in-chief of Electric Literature, winner of the Whiting Literary Magazine Prize, and co-host of the podcast Food 4 Thot. In it, Davis, a Black concert violist, prepares to marry Everett, a white man who works in wealth management. But their wedding day in Montauk is disrupted by news of a severe car wreck involving Davis's estranged father. In a devastating moment, the distant past strikes a delicate present with a dissonant chord, one that will reverberate well into an uncertain future.

Norris's sensuous, intimate prose ravishes readers with a profound depiction of queer formation and resilient devotion. Vivacious metaphors layer irresistible harmonies atop this vulnerable story of love and reconciliation. When the Harvest Comes affirms what Electric Literature readers have long understood about the exquisite level of taste Norris exhibits in the realms of fiction. Fresh and well-crafted, this enchanting novel marks both an exciting new phase in both the author's career and the arc of queer literature.
