Books by Percival Everett

Percival Everett is an American novelist, poet, and professor who has published more than thirty books across multiple genres. He is widely considered one of the most technically adventurous and intellectually serious novelists working in American fiction today. Earlier novels including Erasure (2001) — later adapted as the film American Fiction — established his reputation for satirizing race, literature, and American institutions with formal ingenuity and wit. James, published in 2024, won both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Booker Prize, bringing long-overdue mainstream recognition to one of American literature's most distinctive voices.
