With audacity and invention, Jason Mott s Hell of a Book weaves together three narrative strands an unnamed author, a boy named Soot, and a figure known as The Kid into a masterful novel. In a structurally and conceptually daring examination of art, fame, family and being Black in America, Mott somehow manages the impossible trick of being playful, insightful and deeply moving, all at the same time. A highly original, inspired work that breaks new ground (NBA Judges' Citation).
