It is not memoir, yet it has deeply personal connections to Jason's life. And while rooted in reality, it explodes with dream-like 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePeople Like Us\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Like Us\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinishing 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJason Mott has published four novels.
