Jason Mott won the fiction prize for his novel “Hell of a Book” at the 2021 virtual National Book Awards, hosted inside the offices of Penguin Random House.
“Hell of a Book” opens as the story of a Black author touring the country to promote his novel, but it soon broadens to take on themes of love, family and what it means to be Black in America.
The 72nd National Book Awards, one of the country’s most prestigious literary prizes, was hosted by comedian, actress, and New York Times bestselling writer Phoebe Robinson.
Tiya Miles was awarded the nonfiction prize for “All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, A Black Family Keepsake,” deemed by judges a “brilliant, original work” with “graceful prose.”
