24 followers · 48 posts · Server zirk.usWonderful essay by Percival Everett on language and meaning in the "abstract novel." Everett doesn't publish much non-fiction, even though literary criticism is woven into many of his novels, so this is a pleasant surprise to read. #PercivalEverett

Thanks #MartinCounty for helping me figure out what book to read next. I was going to follow up #PercivalEverett's #Erasure with #ShirleyJackson's #TheBirdNest, but I guess it'll be #Picoult's #TheStoryteller. #litstudies https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/10/ron-desantis-book-bans-martin-county-jodi-picoult/

Yesterday I gave myself a rare sofa day and read a book in a day: The Trees by Percival Everett. Comic and brutal by turns it is ultimately extraordinary. It distills down to a list of names that seem to still rise from the pages of the book as it sits closed on my coffee table. They will haunt me for some time yet. ‘Rise, rise’. #books #PercivalEverett

73 followers · 81 posts · Server mastodonapp.ukReally excited. Managed to get a copy of Percival Everett's 'I am Not Sidney Poitier' and really looking forward to reading it. Any other Percival Everett fans out there? I would call his writing different but hugely entertaining. Most different style of writing and I love it. #bookstodon #percivaleverett

Following the lead of others here, I'm going to document my reading.
Today, I've started The Trees, a novel by Percival Everett. I knew it was based on the murder of Emmett Till, so I was apprehensive of a difficult, worthy read, but so far I'm loving it. It's more of a revenge fantasy.
I'm on page 88 and I can't wait to finish it, I need to recommend it now.
