About This Item

Hardcover with dust jacket, 319 numbered pages, 22 x 15 cm, book features black paper over bright yellow textured boards, jacket printed in yellow and black with a creative "cut-away" book illustration by Christopher Lin. NEW (unread) book. Condition is Fine in Fine, a crisp copy with minimal shelf wear. 2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD Winner (Fiction) . With audacity and invention, Jason Mott s Hell of a Book weaves together three narrative strands an unnamed author, a boy named Soot, and a figure known as The Kid into a masterful novel. In a structurally and conceptually daring examination of art, fame, family and being Black in America, Mott somehow manages the impossible trick of being playful, insightful and deeply moving, all at the same time. A highly original, inspired work that breaks new ground (NBA Judges' Citation).

About The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop
The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop has a passion for fine and rare books covering all things art, all things music, 19th Century literature and culture, fine illustrations and modern firsts. The Cat digs artistic and counter-cultural movements, and also of course the unusual and the curious (hence the "Peculiar" in the name). The Cat's yen for the 19th century (including art, fashion, affairs, exploration) is possibly influenced by living in a 19th century brownstone, a future gallery for the store.Selling online since 2003 with great customer feedback - if the customer is happy, we are happy.
