The release date for the English version of 'Hell of a Book' by
Jason Mott is Jun 2021. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
An African-American novelist embarks on a cross-country book tour in Hell of a Book to promote his best-selling book. Since Jason Mott's novel also covers the story of Soot, a little Black boy living in a remote hamlet in the recent past, and The Kid, a perhaps fictional youngster who comes to the author on his tour, it is clear that this plotline is both the central theme of the book and the framework for something much greater and more urgent.
The stories of these characters develop steadily throughout, surprising as they come together. Because even while this tragic and enchanted book explores themes of family, love for parents and children, art, and money, the news is constantly rehashing the terrible tale of a police shooting.
Who has perished? The Child is who? After completing his book tour, what type of world will the author be leaving behind? Hell of a Book, which Mott claims he has been writing for 10 years, is an electrifying high-wire act that is unforgettable, perfect for book groups, and, in its last twists, genuinely lives up to its title.
