Hell of a Book

"As a nameless narrator and debut author of a bestselling novel travels the country on his first book tour, he finds himself on an epic journey of self-discovery – even though he is usually drunk and never entirely certain of where he is or even what his book is about. He is also never entirely certain of what is real – is he being followed by a young Black boy who was recently murdered by the police? Why is his dead mother in the audience? This is a novel about racism and loss and fear and trauma and the toll it all exacts. It is also about who we become as a result. It also, as the narrator insists, a very unusual love story."
