People Like Us by Jason Mott

People Like Us follows two Black writers whose lives intersect against a backdrop of gun violence—one on a book tour, the other preparing to speak at a school after a shooting. The novel mixes realist scenes with dreamlike, surreal elements (time slips, strange creatures, and vivid memories) to explore loss, love, belonging, and the search for peace, balancing sharp humor with emotional depth.

The 12192nd greatest book of all time
