A review of Percival Everett's novel, The Trees
"The Trees" sounds a bit like the satirical novels of Ishmael Reed; I imagine he was a literary influence on Everett.
Oh, I haven’t read any of those. Any in particular you recommend?
The ones I can most easily recall are “Mumbo Jumbo”, “Flight To Canada” and “Yellow Back Radio Broke Down”.
Thanks!
Thank you for this brilliant post. I loved The Trees, too. It totally blew my mind.
Thanks, Barb!
Brilliant review! I own this and now I can’t wait to actually get to it
Thanks, Natalie!
Interesting comments! I like your writing-maybe I’ll buy you that coffee you talked about……..
