People Like Us: A Novel
The riveting new novel by the author of the 2021 National Book Award winner and bestsellerĀ Hell of a Book
People Like UsĀ is Jason Mottās electric new novel. It is not memoir, yet it has deeply personal connections to Jasonās life. And while rooted in reality, it explodes with dreamlike experiences that pull a reader in and donāt let go, from the ability to time travel to sightings of sea monsters and peacocks, and feelings of love and memory so real they hurt.
InĀ 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: characters drink booze out of an award trophy; menaces lurk in the shadows; tiny French cars putter around the countryside; handguns seem to hover in the air; and dreams endure against all odds.
People Like UsĀ 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. This book contains characters experiencing deep loss and longing; it also is buoyed by riotous humor and characters who share the deepest love. It is the newest creation of a writer whose work amazes, delivering something utterly new yet instantly recognizable as a Jason Mott novel.
Finishing the novel will leave you absolutely breathless and, at the same time, utterly filled with joy for life, changed forever by characters who are people like us.
