Details

A blistering satire about race, identity, and the publishing industry. It captures the private torment and bold satiric rage of the protagonist, a frustrated Black academic. Hailed widely as a masterpiece of 21st-century literature, it is often praised as a sharp critique of the insidious biases within the literary marketplace. It is also a tender, melancholic exploration of family, aging, and grief.

Erasure by Percival Everett is available in all formats at public libraries and bookstores. 265 pp
