LONG DIVISION by Kiese Laymon
The revised edition of Kiese Laymon’s critically acclaimed first novel, LONG DIVISION, published this week to a flurry of positive press. The New York Times featured the book on its list of “New and Noteworthy” titles, praising the way the book “probes fame, creativity, and the toll of racism.” Meanwhile, in a review for the Chicago Tribune, author John Warner writes: “It is rare that I will purchase a second copy of a book that I already own and have read more than once, but I am making an exception with the recently revised and re-issued edition of Kiese Laymon’s LONG DIVISION…Laymon is a singular voice in American literature.” The book has also been featured on must-read lists for June from Bustle, Entertainment Weekly, and LitHub. Scribner published LONG DIVISION on June 1, 2021.
