HELL OF A BOOK - JASON MOTT KARTONIERT (TB)

An astounding work of fiction from a New York Times bestselling author  both incredibly funny
and heartfelt  that goes to the heart of racism  police violence  and the hidden costs exacted
upon Black Americans  and America as a whole In Hell of a Book  an African-American author sets
out on a cross-country book tour to promote his bestselling novel. That storyline drives the
novel and is the scaffolding of something much larger and urgent: since the novel also tells
the story of Soot  a young Black boy living in a rural town in the recent past  and The Kid  a
possibly imaginary child who appears to the author on his tour. Throughout  these characters'
stories build and build and as they converge  they astonish. For while this heartbreaking and
magical book entertains and is at once about family  love of parents and children  art  and
money  there always is the tragic story of a police shooting playing over and over on the news.
Who has been killed? Who is The Kid? Will the author finish his book tour  and what kind of
world will he leave behind? Unforgettably powerful  an electrifying high-wire act  ideal for
book clubs and the book Mott says he has been writing in his head for ten years  Hell of a Book
in its final twists truly becomes its title.
