Percival Everett By Virgil Russell by Percival Everett

An eighty-something Midwestern man tells his own life story in a plain, wry voice, tracing family history, small-town hardships, and moments of violence and loss while reflecting on memory, identity, and the limits of language; the result is a deceptively simple, morally ambiguous memoir that interrogates how stories are told and who gets to tell them, mixing dark humor, sorrow, and sharp observations about race, aging, and the power of narrative.
