bWinner of the NAACP Image Award for Fiction/b bFrom Kiese Laymon, author of the critically acclaimed

memoir iHeavy/i, comes a &#8220funy, astute, searching&#8221(iThe Wall Street Journal/i) debut novel

about Black teenagers that is a satirical exploration of celebrity, authorship, violence, religion, and

coming of age in post-Katrina Mississippi. /bWritten in a voice that&#8217salternately humorous,

lacerating, and wise, Long Division features two interwoven stories. In the first, it&#8217s2013: after an

on-stage meltdown during a nationally televised quiz contest, fourteen-year-old Citoyen

&#8220Ciy&#8221Coldson becomes an overnight YouTube celebrity. The next day, he&#8217ssent to

stay with his grandmother in the small coastal community of Melahatchie, where a young girl named

Baize Shephard has recently disappeared. Before leaving, City is given a strange book without an author

called Long Division. He learns that one of the book&#8217smain characters is also named City

Coldson&#8212bu Long Division is set in 1985. This 1985-version of City, along with his friend and love

interest, Shalaya Crump, discovers a way to travel into the future, and steals a laptop and cellphone from

an orphaned teenage rapper called...Baize Shephard. They ultimately take these items with them all the

way back to 1964, to help another time-traveler they meet to protect his family from the Ku Klux Klan.

City&#8217stwo stories ultimately converge in the work shed behind his grandmother&#8217shouse,

where he discovers the key to Baize&#8217sdisappearance. Brilliantly &#8220skwering the

disingenuous masquerade of institutional racism&#8221(Publishers Weekly), this dreamlike &#8220smrt,

funny, and sharp&#8221(Jesmyn Ward), novel shows the work that young Black Americans must do,

while living under the shadow of a history &#8220tht they only gropingly understand and must try to fill in

for themselves&#8221(The Wall Street Journal).
