Mayor's Book Club featuring Jason Mott
in conversation with Evan Narcisse
People Like Us explores gun violence, grief and what home means for Black Americans. In this unconventional novel, heavy and important topics are made more digestible through the author's use of humor and magic realism. Jason Mott’s fourth novel, Hell of a Book, won the 2021 National Book Award for fiction.
The Mayor’s Book Club is an annual citywide reading initiative we present in partnership with the Mayor’s Office and the Austin Library Foundation to encourage a community experience through reading, discussion, and exploration of current topics and compelling ideas. The title will be announced soon!
Meet the Author events provide an opportunity to hear a writer read their work aloud and discuss it with an audience.
