Tiffany Clarke Harrison is the winner of the 2024 Clara Johnson Award for Women’s Literature for her groundbreaking novel Blue Hour.
Harrison’s novel investigates the intertwined human experiences of a harrowing journey of infertility and its treatment, familial trauma, racial identity, an encounter with institutional racial violence, and the endurance of a loving and devoted partnership throughout the book’s narrative. Using stunning descriptions of hurt and fear, Harrison’s Blue Hour is visceral and powerful. Yet, she is also tender and warm in her portrayal of choosing love and hope over everything else — despite the terrifying odds. It is a remarkable read.
