Percival Everett, like his fiction, defies categorization. His most recent novel, James, earned both the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the National Book Award, and his 2001 novel Erasure inspired the film American Fiction, which received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2024.

 

Illinois Libraries Present (ILP) is a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events funded in part by a Illinois State Library grant.
