Beyond the Page with Percival Everett (Illinois Libraries Present - Online Program)

Description

Industrious, irreverent, and humble–though he may deny the accusation–Percival Everett defies categorization. His most recent novel, James, earned both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award, and his 2001 novel Erasure inspired the film American Fiction, which received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2024.
