Bøger af Percival Everett

Everett's stories in Damned If I Do ingeniously address issues of race and prejudice by simultaneously satirising and celebrating the human condition. An artist, a cop, a cowboy, several fly-fisherman, and even a reluctant romance novelist inhabit these revealing and often hilarious stories.

Zach Wells is a perpetually dissatisfied geologist-slash-paleobiologist. Expert in a very narrow area - the geological history of a cave forty-four meters above the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon - he is a laconic man who plays chess with his daughter, trades puns with his wife while she does yoga, and dodges committee work at the college where he teaches.

A man is decapitated in a car accident, then astonishingly comes back to life in this experimental, satirical, bizarre, and oddly funny novel, which lampoons the press, religion, academia, and contemporary culture.

Percival Everett enriches the ranks of Chris Abani's Black Goat poetry series.

Training horses is dangerous - a head-to-head confrontation with 1,000 pounds of muscle takes courage. Highly praised for his storytelling and ability to address the toughest issues of our time with a touching originality, Everett offers a brilliant novel that explores a divided America.
