Seneca Village—a vibrant nineteenth-century community of predominantly Black landowners and tenants—flourished just west of The Met's current location until the city used eminent domain to seize the land in 1857, displacing its residents to make room for the construction of Central Park. The Met's latest Bulletin, Before Yesterday We Could Fly: An Afrofuturist Period Room, imagines a different history in the form of a new type of installation that departs from traditionally Eurocentric period displays to present a fictional but resonant domestic space. Texts by Ian Alteveer, Hannah Beachler, Michelle Commander, and Sarah Lawrence honor the real, lived history of the Seneca Village residents, while also exploring works by Black creators from the eighteenth century to the present day through the empowering lens of Afrofuturism. Including images of new works by Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Roberto Lugo, and Cyrus Kabiru, as well as an original graphic novella by New York Times bestselling author and illustrator John Jennings, this publication foregrounds generations of Black creativity and looks forward to a resilient future.

Durante la festa di fine anno accademico a Maple Hills, Russ Callaghan e Aurora Roberts prendono parte a un gioco alcolico che li porta a trascorrere insieme una notte di passione. Ma al mattino Aurora scappa via prima ancora che Russ abbia la possibilità di chiederle il nome completo. Nessuno dei due poteva immaginare che presto si sarebbero incontrati di nuovo al campo estivo, dove entrambi hanno deciso di prestare servizio sperando di sfuggire alle loro complicate vite domestiche. Russ non vuole affrontare le ripercussioni della dipendenza dal gioco d'azzardo del padre; Aurora è stanca di reclamare attenzioni e di essere considerata l'ultima ruota del carro in famiglia. Russ sa che infrangendo la rigida regola del campo "non si fraternizza con il personale" rischia di tornare a Maple Hills prima che l'estate sia finita, ma sfortunatamente per lui Aurora non è mai stata brava a rispettare le regole. Sapranno imparare a convivere pacificamente? O la loro unica notte insieme ha innescato un incendio che non possono spegnere?
The new novel from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Icebreaker and Wildfire... As a chronic procrastinator, Henry Turner always knew his junior year in college wasn’t going to be easy. That was before he made ice hockey captain as well as landing himself in a difficult class with his least favourite professor. Thankfully, it’s then that Henry meets Halle, a fellow junior who he immediately befriends. Academic pressure has never been a struggle for Halle, but as an introverted people pleaser with a tendency to overcommit herself, she can’t help but offer to help Henry pass his class. In turn he offers to help make college life a little more inspiring – just the thing she needs as an aspiring novelist… Failure isn’t an option for either of them but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a little room for distraction… Not suitable for younger readers.
