Tembe Denton-Hurst (known on the internets as @tembae) is a book-obsessed beauty and culture writer and author. She currently works as a staff writer at New York Magazine's The Strategist where she covers beauty, lifestyle, and books. When she's not writing, Tembe can be found on her couch in Queens where she lives with her partner and their two cats Stella and Dakota. Homebodies is her debut novel.
Praise for Homebodies ‘Sharp and heartfelt and keenly observed – I devoured this book’ Katie Cotugno, New York Times Bestselling author of Birds of California ‘I saw so much of myself in her utterly delicious and sometimes aching story’ Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, author of the New York Times bestselling The Love Songs of W.E.B. DuBois ‘Denton-Hurst dazzles with her stirring indictment of racism in media and its insidious effects on Mickey. . . Emotionally and politically resonant, this is not to be missed.’Publishers Weekly
