Otts reviewed Long Division by Kiese Laymon
HILARIOUS
5 stars
I love Southern literature (American South)—almost specialized in it in grad school. Something in its sensibility reminds me of Caribbean lit. Almost every page of this novel-within-a-novel CRACKED. ME. UP.
Make sure to read this edition. It requires you to flip the book over & around to read the intertwined stories: a really cool tactile mechanic that brings new layers of meaning to the experience. It really is book art.
