yeah can't wait to read this - PE is so great. "i would be offended if they didn't ban my book"

MacArthur Foundation, it's not too late to award Everett a MacArthur Fellowship! The man is a literary genius and has been incredibly prolific in spite of the obligation to teach, which is draining, however rewarding. That he never received a "genius" grant is a serious omission. I want to read whatever he writes next, and it will be a loss to American literature if he's without the time and energy to do so. Thank you, Mr. Everett, for telling the truth through your fiction. Gratefully, A fan since Erasure.

To be honest I always hated Huckleberry Finn, Just finished erasure and now I feel I have to read everything by Mr. Everett! I'm excited to read about the world of James.

I haven't been interested in reading a novel in a long while but I may have to read Mr. Everett!🤙

If you like James, check out Erasure. Everett is brilliant and ahead of his time.
