This month the BPL Book Club will be discu ssing Hell of a Book by Jason Mott\, the powerful 2022 National B ook Award Winner. Join us for a lively book chat!

\n

In Jason \;M ott's \;Hell \;of \;a \;Book\, \;a \;Blac k author sets out on \;a \;cross-country publicity tour to promote his bestselling novel. That storyline drives \;Hell \;of  \;a \;Book \;and is the scaffolding \;of \;something much larger and urgent: since \;Mott's \;novel also tells the stor y \;of \;Soot\, \;a \;young Black boy living in \;a&nb sp\;rural town in the recent past\, and The Kid\, \;a \;possibly i maginary child who appears to the author on his tour. As these characters' stories build and build and converge\, they astonish. For while this hear tbreaking and magical \;book \;entertains and is at once about fam ily\, love \;of \;parents and children\, art and money\, it's also about the nation's reckoning with \;a \;tragic police shooting pl aying over and over again on the news. And with what it can mean to be Bla ck in America.
