National Book Award-winning Novelist Jason Mott “People Like Us”

2021 National Book Award Winner Jason Mott shares a riveting new novel. In “People Like Us,” two Black writers are trying to find peace and belonging in a world that is riven with gun violence. One is on a global book tour after a big prize win; the other is set to give a speech at a school that has suffered a shooting. And as their two storylines merge, truths and antics abound in equal measure. “People Like Us” is wickedly funny and achingly sad all at once. It is an utter triumph bursting with larger-than-life characters who deliver a very real take on our world.

Books available from Left Bank Books.
