Wow!!! James by Percival Everett was everything everyone said it was. Loved this novel reimagining of Huck Finn.
NOTE: I have NOT read "James" by Percival Everett or "Martyr!" by Kaveh Akbar, before someone asks. I know every critic has those as their top-two books. I will get to them before the final list.
I don’t think anyone will ever find out whether Rob finished Cloud Atlas, but he does seem to have a new book on the go…
Percival Everett’s JAMES is so good. The audiobook is good. If you haven’t read it and are tempted, I would read a quick summary of Huck Finn first (my memory of it from k-12 is very dim and I wish I had reread it before)
Percival, sacrifiquei o Luva de Pedreiro e o Davi do BBB para Baal. As voizes pedem sangue!
watching Peeping Tom on Criterion Channel. there’s a way that really well-made movies feel—every shot is intentional and conveys relevant information to the viewer; the subject matter and the look (colors, lighting) are of a piece. I’m reminded of what Lisa Lucas said about Percival Everett—
Percival vai ter que mostrar muita inteligência e emoção forte se não vai dar ruim pra ele...
A disputa Hamilton x Percival em 2025 vai mostrar aos incautos o quão bom Russell é... 😜
