Hell of a Book by Jason Mott

5.0

This is a book that I wish was a required reading for everyone. Mott is a brilliant writer and eloquently created a story to narrate the brutality of racism against the Black community in the United States. The topic is raw and deep and pushes the reader - especially the White reader (e.g., me) - to be introspective and confront those implicit biases that seem to forever dictate how the world is run, even when the way things are is wrong. This is a novel that will sit with me for a long time. We can’t just forget tragedy. We have to embrace it and let it drive us to change ourselves and our community. I love the way Mott targeted with theme.
