Yet another novel by a Black man about writing a novel—I think this is my 2nd and Demby’s “The Catacombs” will be the 3rd. An odd unexpected theme to land on this year.

Well written. Equally depressing and yearning. And so tastefully contemporary (authors mentioning AI, for example, can feel too “on trend”, but Mott evades this).
