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
