Sobre este áudio
An electric debut novel about the daughter of Afghan refugees and her year of self-discovery—“a stunning coming-of-age story” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) and a portrait of the artist as a young woman set in a Berlin that can’t escape its history
A girl can get in almost anywhere, even if she can’t get out.
“A no-bullsh*t, must-read debut.”—Kaveh Akbar
“Kaleidoscopic, full of style and soul.”—Raven Leilani
“An exhilarating debut novel.”—R.O. Kwon, The New York Times Book Review
"Once in a blue moon a debut novel comes along, announcing a voice quite unlike any other, with a layered story and sentences that crackle and pop, begging to be read aloud. Aria Aber’s splendid Good Girl introduces just such a voice . . . Aber, an award-winning poet, strikes gold here, much like Kaveh Akbar did in last year’s acclaimed Martyr!"—Los Angeles Times

In Berlin’s artistic underground, where techno and drugs fill warehouses still pockmarked from the wars of the twentieth century, nineteen-year-old Nila at last finds her tribe. Born in Germany to Afghan parents, raised in public housing graffitied with swastikas, drawn to philosophy, photography, and sex, Nila has spent her adolescence disappointing her family while searching for her voice as a young woman and artist.
Then in the haze of Berlin’s legendary nightlife, Nila meets Marlowe, an American writer whose fading literary celebrity opens her eyes to a life of personal and artistic freedom. But as Nila finds herself pulled further into Marlowe’s controlling orbit, ugly, barely submerged racial tensions begin to roil Germany—and Nila’s family and community. After a year of running from her future, Nila stops to ask herself the most important question: Who does she want to be?
A story of love and family, raves and Kafka, staying up all night and surviving the mistakes of youth, Good Girl is the virtuosic debut novel by a celebrated young poet and, now, a major new voice in fiction.
©2025 Aria Aber (P)2025 Random House AudioResumo da Crítica
“[An] exhilarating debut novel . . . Aber’s first book was a collection of poetry [Hard Damage]; she has published astonishing poems I’ve read dozens of times. It’s thrilling to see her turn major poetic gifts toward the sweep of this Künstlerroman . . . While reading Good Girl, I thought of James Baldwin, writing in a letter that ‘the place in which I’ll fit will not exist until I make it.’ With her novel, Aber has made the world more spacious: More people will find a place to fit.”—R. O. Kwon, New York Times Book Review
“A stunning coming-of-age story . . . a remarkable achievement.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Aber’s first book, the poetry collection Hard Damage, earned her literary acclaim and the 2020 Whiting Award. Her debut novel, Good Girl, is bound to bring her the sort of broad public attention fans of her work have long known she deserved.”—Vulture
