Hell of a book : or the altogether factual, Wholly Bona Fide story of a big dreams, hard luck, American-Made Mad Kid / Jason Mott. by Mott, Jason. Dutton, 2021. Call #: FICTION MOT Subjects Authors, Black -- Fiction.   Authors -- Fiction.   Fictitious characters -- Fiction.   Book industries and trade -- Fiction.   Families -- Fiction.   Racism -- Fiction.   Police brutality -- Fiction.   Murder -- Fiction.   National Book Awards. ISBN:  9780593330968 (hc) Alternate title:  Hell of a book Description:  319 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Notes:  "Read with Jenna"--Dust jacket. Summary:  "An astounding work of fiction from a New York Times bestselling author, both incredibly funny and honest, 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 Jason Mott's novel and is the scaffolding of something much larger and more urgent: since his 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."--Publisher.
