#bookstodon Just finished #HellofaBook by #JasonMott.

A writer is touring to promote his novel. The news is all about a young Black boy who was killed, and is this the same boy that the writer is talking to? Why is it hard for the writer to remember his past, or even what's real and not real?

This book is, by turns, moving, uncomfortable, earnest, and surgically poetic, if that's even a thing. 5 stars.

Jason Mott's Hell of a Book is just that - a hell of a book! It is the story of a writer on a book tour, or is it? You will not want to put this book down. I couldn't. And I can't wait to read it again. Seriously, get this book. I don't want to post spoilers. Just go get it.

I hope that The Southern Literary Review will soon have a presence on Mastodon. Until then, enjoy The Official Southern Literary Review 2022 Holiday Gift Guide! I'd like to add two books to this list that were somehow overlooked. Lark Ascending by Silas House, and Never Go Home by Christopher Swann
