“This account of two Black writers makes for a memorable audiobook. Both narrators are masters of cadence and pace. The unnamed first-person protagonist [is] portrayed expressively by Golden Voice Narrator JD Jackson…Ronald Peet eloquently portrays the writer Soot…In an autobiographical endnote, Mott reveals the novel’s backstories. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award for Narration.”

The riveting novel by the author of the National Book Award winner and bestseller Hell of a Book
In People Like Us, two Black writers are trying to find peace and belonging in a world riven with violence. One is on a global book tour after winning a big prize; the other is set to speak at a school that has suffered a tragedy. And as the authors’ storylines merge, truths and antics abound in equal measure: from tiny French cars and melancholy winter hotel rooms, from humble family land to the wealthiest estates, this book asks us to witness people and their dreams enduring against all odds.
You will meet larger-than-life characters who deliver very real takes on our world. They experience deep loss and longing; they are also buoyed by riotous humor and share the deepest love. It is the latest creation of a writer whose work will leave you breathless, filled with joy for life, and changed forever by characters who are people like us.
