In Rob Franklin's ‘Great Black Hope,' a life nearly undone in one disastrous moment
Like Franklin, Smith grew up in a world of good schools, successful and involved parents, and regular attendance at church and Jack and Jill. But his life takes a turn after an unexpected drug bust in the Hamptons, the consequences of which loom over the novel, showing, as he says, 'the idea that all of that generational upward mobility could be undone in a single night.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Smith, Elle, and his white friend Caroline all come from financially comfortable backgrounds, but the specifics couldn't be more different, Franklin says. 'I was really interested in writing a novel of manners that pays attention to social codes a lot. Someone like Smith grew up in an upper middle class Black household, a world that's really preoccupied with respectability, and Caroline was raised in a sort of East Coast, European Art world family.' Advertisement It was important to him to avoid over-explaining these telling details. 'I feel like I can trust my readers,' Franklin says. 'Specifically with depicting Black culture for a wider audience, it feels important to me not to set my default audience to white. Treating Black pop and cultural references as equally valid and mainstream — that's really satisfying to the readers who are produced by those worlds, to see them represented on the page but not in this 'teachable moment' way.' Rob Franklin will read at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 17, at . And now for some recommendations ... Joyce Carol Oates is famously hyper-prolific, so it's no surprise she's written a big summer book — yet somehow her new novel, ' 'It's always a folly in farming to think you know what you're doing,' writes Helen Whybrow in her beautiful memoir, ' Advertisement Another profoundly lovely book about the natural world is Robert Finch's ' Kate Tuttle edits the Globe's Books section.

Valerie Mahaffey, known for playing Eve in the '90s TV series 'Northern Exposure,' has died. She was 71. The Emmy-winning actor died after a battle with cancer, her publicist confirmed in a statement. In addition to starring in 'Northern Exposure,' Mahaffey is known for playing Bitsy in Adam Sandler's film 'Jack and Jill' and Annie in 2003's 'Seabiscuit.'

She is survived by husband Joseph Kell and her daughter, Alice Richards. 'I have lost the love of my life, and America has lost one of its most endearing actresses,' Kell said in a statement to 'She will be missed.' Mahaffey began acting in the '70s when she booked the role of Catherine Howard in the Broadway musical 'Rex.' While in New York City, she also took the stage for productions including 'Dracula' and 'Fearless Frank.' In 1977, she secured a small screen role in the TV movie 'Tell Me My Name' before she played Ashley Bennett in the soap opera 'The Doctors.'

Ask Billboard: ‘20 Cigarettes' Is No. 20 on the Hot 100 & Other Chart Coincidences
Submit questions about Billboard charts, as well as general music musings, to . Please include your first and last name, as well as your city, state and country, if outside the United States. More from Billboard Morgan Wallen & Tate McRae's 'What I Want' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 The Amity Affliction Cover Turnstile's 'Holiday' for 'Like a Version' Mariah Carey Celebrates 20 Years of 'The Emancipation of Mimi': Stream It Now Or, reach out on Bluesky. Let's open the latest mailbag. Hi Gary, '20 Cigarettes' by Morgan Wallen has debuted at No. 20 on the latest Billboard Hot 100. If that's its high, it will join the list of songs whose titles include the number where they peaked, such as Prince and the New Power Generation's '7' and so many others. I also see that Wallen has a Hot 100 tune titled 'Jack and Jill,' marking the latest chart appearance for the couple. Thanks, Pablo NelsonOakland, Calif. Hi Pablo, Let's start with 'Jack and Jill,' since they have seniority, as they are believed to date, in nursery rhyme form, to the 17th century. As clumsy as they may be, they've managed to roll up the Hot 100 three times via 'Jack and Jill' song titles. Wallen's debuts at No. 60 on the May 31 chart, after Raydio's became a top 10 hit, rising to No. 8, in 1978 and Tommy Roe's reached No. 53 in 1969. Like the latter two songs, Wallen's will go tumbling after its peak, though maybe he won't yet break his crown on the Hot 100. As for fun with song titles and their peaks, along with '20 Cigarettes,' let's look at a dozen more releases below whose titles have synched up to their Billboard chart runs. (Sadly, '9 to 5' doesn't make the cut, as Dolly Parton's classic never worked its way from No. 9 to No. 5 on any chart in a single week. Plus, Taylor Swift's '22' just had to become a bigger hit than its name, rising two more spots to a No. 20 Hot 100 high; neither Albert Hammond's '99 Miles From L.A.' Toto's '99,' Nena's '99 Luftballoons' nor Jay-Z's '99 Problems' peaked, or even ever ranked, at No. 99, with Hammond's skipping directly over it, from No. 100 to No. 98; and Drake's 'Started From the Bottom' debuted at No. 63, or 37 spots from there.) 'One Week,' Barenaked LadiesThe lyrically random rundown spent exactly one week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 dated Oct. 17, 1998. The band was 'big like LeAnn Rimes' that week — even bigger, as her smash 'How Do I Live' simultaneously fell off the chart after a then-record run. 'Fortnight,' Taylor Swift feat. Post MaloneLikewise fittingly, the song claimed two weeks atop the Hot 100, on the charts dated May 4 and 11, 2024. , The BeatlesThe collection includes each of the Beatles' record 20 No. 1s on the Hot 100. It became their most recent Billboard 200 leader in 2000. , Destiny's ChildSimilarly, Destiny's Child's hits package topped the Billboard 200 in 2005. It houses all four of the group's Hot 100 No. 1s. '1-2-3,' Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound MachineIn 1988, the flirty anthem peaked at No. 1 (for one week) on Adult Contemporary — No. 2 on the then-active Hot Crossover 30 — and No. 3 on the Hot 100. 'Just the Two of Us,' Grover Washington, Jr. with Bill WithersThe R&B favorite hit No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 1981. Plus, Seduction's 'Two to Make It Right' peaked at No. 2 in 1990. Songs with 'two' in their names aren't jinxed, though, as two 'two'-titled tracks have hit No. 1: Mary MacGregor's 'Torn Between Two Lovers,' in 1977, and Phil Collins' 'Two Hearts,' in 1989. '3 AM,' matchbox 20The band's 1997 single hit No. 3 on Alternative Airplay. Similarly, Maluma's '11 PM' clocked a No. 11 peak on Hot Latin Songs in 2019. (Music director radio tip: Scheduling '3 AM' at 3 a.m. is a good way to perk up overnight air talent with something playful to talk about, and help keep them from falling asleep.) '25 or 6 to 4,' ChicagoIf you have to pick among peaking at Nos. 25, 6 or 4, 4 is the best, and that's how high this hit reached on the Hot 100 in 1970. While it never ranked at No. 25, it did rise 6 to 4. '7,' Prince and the New Power GenerationThe track reached a No. 7 peak on the Hot 100 in 1993. (On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, it stopped at No. 61, but at least those numbers add up to 7.) '#9 Dream,' John LennonThe song hit No. 9 on the Hot 100 in 1975. It's the only one of the late legend's eight solo top 10s or the Beatles' 35 top 10s to have peaked at that rank. '21 Questions (Again),' DebrecaIn 2003, the track by the singer reached No. 42 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Maybe '21 Questions (Again)' would've peaked at No. 21 if she didn't add its subtitle? 'Eighteen With a Bullet,' Pete WingfieldPerhaps the best example of a song related to a trip up Billboard's rankings, the single was its title on the Nov. 22, 1975-dated Hot 100, climbing four spots to No. 18 with a '*' award, or bullet, reflecting its positive chart momentum. The song, which hit a No. 15 best the following week, has fun with several industry shoutouts. Wingfield sings in the doo-wop-flavored track, 'I'm high on the chart, I'm tipped for the top … but 'til I'm in your heart, I ain't never gonna stop!'
