Praise for Hell of a Book " Hell of a Book more than lives up to its title. Playful, searching, raw and necessary, this writing, this voice, this novel twisted me up and turned me inside out, dazzled me, surprised me and moved me."-- Charles Yu, author of National Book Award winner Interior Chinatown "What a powerful, timely, and provocative novel. Jason's ability to take on deeply important themes with both poignancy and humor makes for an extraordinary emotional roller coaster of a read, and I tore through this profoundly moving novel in a day but have been thinking about it ever since. Thank you, Jason Mott, for sharing this story with the world."-- Abi Daré, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl with the Louding Voice "Hell of a Book teetertotters real life and fiction in a dizzying yet dazzling exploration of exploration itself. Jason Mott brings much of what he's known for and a lot of what we do not expect to this inventive offering." --Kiese Laymon, author of How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America "At turns hilarious and moving, thoughtful and madcap, Hell of a Book manages simultaneously to address momentous issues and ask pressing questions, while somehow remaining light on its feet, which is a hell of an accomplishment." -- Jonathan Evison, bestselling author of West of Here and Small World "Maddening, disorienting, and illuminating." -- Booklist "A story that is at once a paean to familial love and friendship and a reckoning with racism and police violence. By turns playful and surprising and intimate, a moving meditation on being Black in America." --Kirkus "A surrealistic tale about a famous author on a book tour becomes an exploration of police violence and the havoc it wreaks." -- Entertainment Weekly, Praise for Hell of a Book " Hell of a Book more than lives up to its title.

A surrealist feast of imagination that's brimming with very real horrors, frustrations and sorrows, it can break your heart and make you laugh out loud at the same time, often on the same page. This is an achievement of American fiction that rises to meet this particular moment with charm, wisdom and truth." --BookPage (starred review) "Maddening, disorienting, and illuminating." -- Booklist "A story that is at once a paean to familial love and friendship and a reckoning with racism and police violence.

That storyline drives Hell of a Book and is the scaffolding of something much larger and more urgent: Mott's 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. As these characters' stories build and 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, it's also about the nation's reckoning with a tragic police shooting playing over and over again on the news. And with what it can mean to be Black in America. 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 told, with characters who burn into your mind and an electrifying plot ideal for book club discussion, Hell of a Book is the novel Mott has been writing in his head for the last ten years. And in its final twists, it truly becomes its title.

- y***y (2102)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufNo that two items from this seller and I couldn’t be happier with my purchases! Shipping speed was unmatched (superhero status! So fast!) the item was exactly as described and well packaged. I wish I could leave more than five stars for this seller because experiences like this make me want to shop on eBay more frequently! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Kate Spade Women's Low Cut Cozies Socks 3 Pairs / Multicolor (Nr. 205199423194)
- h***l (814)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufExactly as described. The colors and fabric are soft. Very nice top. There was something strange about the delivery. Not with the seller, but I kept getting messages that the package could not be delivered because the address was wrong. I’ve gotten messages like this before. I just ignore them because they’re scams. I don’t know who’s creating them, but they are what they are. Anyway, I eventually received the item, and the address was correct. I would purchase from this seller again.NWT Lucky Brand Floral Peasant Top Sz Large (Nr. 203866584320)
