Thanks for your review. I recently finished Everett’s latest book - James. It does not have the outward humor of The Trees, but there are moments of comedic brilliance. I am reading The Trees and it does seem very funny in a dark way.
Thanks for the book review. 🤔 Mr. Percival Everett is one of my favorite writers! I read Erasure when it was published 20 years ago. Very well written satirical novel about the racial stereotypes in the literary industry. Percival Everett is a brilliant writer and I look forward to reading all of his books. I suggest you read Erasure and see the movie, American Fiction. I am planning to read all of Percival Everett's book. I appreciate his satirical sense of humor and his social commentaries.
Just completed "James" by P. Everett. Takes Jim from Huck Finn and turns that character treatment on its head. Fantastic!. Started Trees and I have gone HUH? same author?, Very talented writer. I'll follow up after reading.
