Watershed
Watershed | Percival Everett
3 posts | 2 read | 12 to read
A classic of politics, murder, and espionage "Watershed has all the makings of a social thriller...In this novel about water and the struggle for a life free of injustice, the mix doesn't just work, it flows." — Alan Cheuse, National Public Radio "It’s hard . . . to imagine a novelist today with fresher eyes than Percival Everett."?Christopher Borrelli, Chicago Tribune On a windswept landscape somewhere north of Denver, Robert Hawks, a feisty and dangerously curious hydrologist, finds himself enmeshed in a fight over Native American treaty rights. What begins for Robert as a peaceful fishing interlude ends in murder and the disclosure of government secrets. Everett mines history for this one, focusing on the relationship between Native American activists and Black Panther groups who bonded over their shared enemies in the 1960s Civil Rights movement. Watershed is an excellent example of Percival Everett’s famed bitingly political narrative style.

In Watershed, Everett draws parallels between the current and historic treatment of both Black and Native Americans in the US. And, of course, he still infuses the book with his trademark humor. This was terrific, and I‘m not surprised—the man is a marvel.

Hooked_on_books @Butterfinger I only discovered him a couple of years ago with The Trees and he‘d already been writing for decades. I‘ve been trying to redeem that as well. 1d
Hooked_on_books @Amiable I haven‘t read it yet, but I have it. I‘m thinking I‘ll read that one in February. I‘ll try to remember to tag you in my review! 1d

The author of this book is Percival Everett, NOT Sherman Alexie!

The author of this book and the protagonist are both black men, but the book seems to be about native Americans and their land. I‘m waiting to find out what connects these two disparate cultures.

SqueakyChu This book was kind of confusing, but I liked it a lot nonetheless. I will read more books by this author. 6y
