(ILP) Beyond the Page with Percival Everett 

Industrious, irreverent, and humbly elusive, Percival Everett defies categorization. His novel James won both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award, and his 2001 novel Erasure inspired the film American Fiction, which earned the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2024. His acclaimed body of work includes Dr. No, The Trees, Telephone, So Much Blue, and I Am Not Sidney Poitier. Despite his many honors, Everett remains rigorously self-critical, grounding his work in deep research and revision. Join us for a conversation that looks beyond the page.
