Ebben az epizódban

This month, Dua is joined by one of the most singular voices in American fiction – the acclaimed author Percival Everett whose novel The Trees was shortlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize.

It’s not an understatement to say that Percival is having a moment – his most recent novel James won the 2024 National Book Award and the 2025 Pulitzer Prize, while American Fiction, the film adaptation of his novel Erasure , won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2024.

On the surface, The Trees is a murder mystery.

But scratch deeper and it becomes a furious, funny, and fearless interrogation of racism, lynching, and America’s unfinished reckoning with its own past.

Taking inspiration from the real-life story of Emmett Till, Percival uses dark comedy and genre subversion to create something bold and unforgettable.

Trigger Warning: Contains discussion of racial violence.
