Adenike Olanrewaju at Harper landed North American rights, in an exclusive submission, to Skin upon Skin: Masks as a Mirror of Race by Morgan Jerkins from Sharon Pelletier at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret. The book, per the agency, “explores the interplay between masks and race in American cultural history, from pre-Revolution beauty customs to the rise of the KKK, from minstrelsy and horror villains to political movements and state-sanctioned violence.” A fall 2028 release is planned.
