LONG DIVISION by Kiese Laymon
Kiese Laymon's LONG DIVISION was praised in The Guardian: “Laymon writes with humour and clarity about what it means to come of age, to be black in the south, to survive a natural disaster, to become an online celebrity, to love for ever...[A] triumphant piece of metafiction.” Laymon was also interviewed by the Los Angeles Review of Books about the novel, who describe it as a "story of bone-deep love, enduring racism, a missing girl, the Holy Ghost, loss, sexuality, family (chosen and blood), sacrifice, hope, horror, tenderness, a talking cat, staggering grief, and ridiculous amounts of humor.” Scribner published the reissued novel on June 1, 2021.
