I‘m still reading The Trees (so good) by this author but getting close to the end so I‘ve checked out two more of his books from Libby. I may like Trees better than James, which I read last year. What an author!! #authoramonth @Soubhiville

TheKidUpstairs Trees is my favourite of his (of the ones I've read). 4d

perfectsinner I just grabbed James from my library 😀 and idk what Trees is about, but I love them! So the title caught my eye. Hopefully i like James as much as others seem to and maybe I'll check out his other stuff, too. Happy reading 🤓 4d

AmyG I really enjoyed Erasure. 4d

Readerann I want to read everything this man has written! (Only read the 3 mentioned here so far.) 4d

Deblovestoread Trees is my favorite so far as well. 4d

I bought this for my brother for his birthday and I think I will finally see him this weekend (he's been out of town for a while). I'm intrigued but won't open a gift book on principle. I wonder if I should ask to borrow it when he's done. Has anyone read it?

Just taking a moment to point out that Percival Everett had a pet crow named Jim!

The.Intentional.Reader His book "American Desert" is one of my top 10 favorite books I've ever read. Great author! (And he has a crow as a pet!) 8y

lauralovesbooks1 I have Erasure and Assumption in my TBR stack. Recommendation on which to read first? 8y

Yossarian @lauralovesbooks1 I've only read the one book of stories, but the Paris Review interview in the current issue is excellent. 8y

This was such a fantastic book, one of my favorite books so far this year. It is actually a collection of short stories that while not specifically linked (outside a few characters) feel as if they belong together. I haven't read anything by Everett before but now I have a few more books to add to my TBR!📚📚💯

horriblehoggle I loved this one too! 9y

This is the Western for you if you think you aren't the kind of person who likes Westerns. A. Focused on an African-American large-animal vet in Wyoming, with a diverse cast by an AA author; B. Lots of uncanny/ magic realism themes; C. Inter-related short stories, so minimal commitment. Read it!

BookishFeminist Percival Everett is a talented writer. If you haven't read his other work I highly recommend

Erasure: A Novel

Yossarian @BookishFeminist All of his books are now on my radar, but I'll move Erasure to the top! 9y

BookishFeminist @Yossarian Knowing that you liked The Sellout & Blackass I think you'll really enjoy- it's a satire on Blackness. 9y
