Lauren Wilkinson’s short fiction includes A Scandal in Brooklyn, a novella published in 2022. Following the success of her debut novel American Spy, Wilkinson turned to shorter-form fiction while continuing to teach creative writing. A Scandal in Brooklyn is set in New York and explores themes of community and belonging in a Brooklyn neighborhood.
Wilkinson’s writing, whether in novel or novella form, is known for its sharp characterization and willingness to deal with difficult questions about race and power in America. A Scandal in Brooklyn shows a different side of her work from the espionage plotting of American Spy, but her attention to character and place remains consistent.
