*THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM*

You’re invited to join us as we talk to New York Times bestselling author Jason Mott about his recent novel "Hell of a Book." This magnificent work of fiction is deeply honest, at times electrically funny, and is a book that goes to the heart of racism, police violence, and the hidden costs exacted upon Black Americans and America as a whole.

About the Author: Jason Mott is the author of two poetry collections and four novels. His first novel, "The Returned," was adapted for television and aired on ABC under the title "Resurrection." Since then, his novels that followed have received various accolades and acclaim. His most recent novel, "Hell of a Book," won the Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Fiction Winner, was a Carnegie Medals For Excellence Longlist nominee, and the winner of the 2021 National Book Award for Fiction.
