Celebrate Eskor David Johnson’s Pay As You Go

Pay As You Go has been named a finalist for the Center for Fiction 2023 First Novel Prize. We’ll find out the winner on Tuesday, but to celebrate Eskor David Johnson’s brilliant book, copies are 20% off all weekend!
“Johnson’s unbridled debut runs in circles of accelerating grandiosity and lunacy.”
—Publishers Weekly
