It is not memoir, yet it has deeply personal connections to Jason's life. And while rooted in reality, it explodes with dreamlike experiences that pull a reader in and don't 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. 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: 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"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1582925</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1582925</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mott, Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1582925101</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Or The Other Continent, or Johnny Wordcount Stumbles Into A High-end Croissant Bar on the Seine in Search of The Kid &amp; Orders the Big Dream</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217047116/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmondpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell of A Book]]></title><description><![CDATA["From a New York Times bestselling author, an astounding work of fiction, both incredibly funny and heartfelt, asking readers to embrace the fantastical in order to get to the heart of racism, police violence, and the hidden costs exacted upon not only Black Americans, but America as a whole"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1408287</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1408287</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mott, Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1408287101</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Or, the Altogether Factual, Wholly Bona Fide Story of A Big Dreams, Hard Luck, American-Made Mad Kid</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593330968/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmondpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Crossing]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the highly acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of The Returned comes a high-concept dystopian novel that imagines a world at war and two siblings who are forced on the run, challenged to do whatever it takes to protect themselves and each other. Stay and die or run and survive. Twins Virginia and Tommy Matthews have been on their own since they were orphaned at the age of five, surviving a merciless foster care system by relying on each other. Twelve years later, the world begins to collapse around them as a deadly contagion steadily wipes out entire populations and a devastating world war rages on for the cure. When Tommy is drafted for the war, the twins are faced with a choice: stay and accept their fate of almost certain death or run. Virginia and Tommy flee into the dark night. Armed with only a pistol and their fierce will to survive, the twins set forth in search of a new beginning. Encountering a colorful cast of characters along the way, Tommy and Virginia must navigate the dangers and wonders of this changed world as they try to outrun the demons of their past. With deft imagination and breathless prose, The Crossing is a riveting tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the burdens we carry with us into the darkness of the unknown.]]></description><link>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1315131</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1315131</guid><category><![CDATA[AB_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mott, Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1315131101</comments><format>AB_ONLINE</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781982438159/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmondpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Returned]]></title><description><![CDATA[When their son Jacob, who died tragically at his 8th birthday party in 1966, arrives on their doorstep, still 8 years old, Harold and Lucille Hargrave must navigate a strange new reality as chaos erupts around the world as people's loved ones are returned from beyond.]]></description><link>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1096190</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1096190</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mott, Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1096190101</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459236639/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmondpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
