books by Percival Everett     books:     Percival Everett      The Jefferson Bible Thomas Jefferson, Percival Everett Akashic Books, 2004 An interesting book from an historic standpoint. This book is historically important, and used in US military schools as a template of good values. This book is merely a cut an paste of most of the "interesting values" in some of the gospels accepted and selected by the church. I do wish that Thomas Jefferson ...             The Literary Press and Magazine Directory 2007/2008: The Only Directory for the Serious Writer of Fiction and ... Council of Literary Magazines and Presses Soft Skull Press, 2007 A fabulous resource! This reasonably priced volume has all the information any writer needs to market his/her work. My only complaint is the inferior quality of the paper, but after all, it's as useful as the Dustbooks Guides and half the price. Now, to follow through and keep a stream of ...             God's Country Percival Everett Beacon Press, 2003 The Wild Wild West Womanizing and hustling, gambling and drinking, horse-rustling and cross-dressing--Everett sends up the cliches and formulae of every Western novel you ever read. And the narrator Curt Marder, part-time husband and full-time loser, adds an all-important forgotten ...             Big Picture Percival Everett Graywolf Press, 1996 big picture These stories are wonderfully rich and dynamic. Everett blends well the elements of a simple, rural lifestyle with complex characters; characters that struggle to find their place in the "big picture". The result is an intense, sometimes dark, but always satisfying ...             Damned If I Do: Stories Percival Everett Graywolf Press, 2004 A diverse and willfull talent This book showcases Everett's amazing ability to evade slacking into one style or formula. The characters-- the short- and far-sighted old friends who team up to hunt a mountain lion, the horse who's afraid of the dark, the man who can fix anything from a blender to a ...             A History of the African-American People (Proposed) by Strom Thurmond, as told to Percival Everett & James ... Percival Everett, James Kincaid Akashic Books, 2004 just read it!!! I actually bought this book thinking it would do a lot more strom-thurmond-bashing then it ended up doing. But Strom really wasn't the focus on the novel, it poked more fun at all the crazy people involved in working on Strom's project (Everett and Kincaid included). ...             Wounded: A Novel Percival Everett Graywolf Press, 2007 "Nobody's got the hate market cornered in this country" Percival Everett never writes the same book twice; in fact, he rarely even writes two books in the same genre, and his publishers seem nonplussed about how to market his fiction. If you were to pigeonhole this particular book somehow, I suppose you'd say it belongs to ...             Erasure Percival Everett Hyperion, 2002 An amazing work of literary criticism I have got to think that Everett cringed when the New York Times Book Review praised his book as having addressed "the highly charged issue of being 'black enough' in America." As Monk says in the beginning of his story, race out of context is an empty concept, as is ...             The Water Cure: A Novel Percival Everett Graywolf Press, 2007 brutally brilliant, brilliantly brutal Having read several other Percival Everett-brand products, I now think of two different "Percival Everett" author functions. One is willing to write fairly conventional novels ("realism," as those who would put air/scare quotes around the word would say), and another ...             American Desert Percival Everett Hyperion, 2004 a brilliant satire Percival Everett's "American Desert" has one of the best first chapters ever written and it sets the tone for what's to come: a clever, and at times very funny, satire on contemporary American society and also a reflection on what it means to be alive. After the ...             The One That Got Away Percival Everett Clarion Books, 1992 A keeper that all ages will enjoy! If you are familiar with Everett you will recognize the style, if you are not this is a treasure worth owning. I found it emensely entertaining. I read it to my two year old often. Although he enjoys the story and the wonderful illustrations, I am looking forward ...             Cutting Lisa (Voices of the South) Percival L. Everett Louisiana State University Press, 2000 A Slight Work Having thoroughly enjoyed Everett's novel "God's Country," I was eager to read more of his work. However, "Cutting Lisa" was a considerable disappointment. The premise itself is interesting - a retired doctor is disturbed by his son's troubled marriage at the same time ...             Watershed Percival Everett Beacon Press, 2003 A mystery with a social conscience Robert Hawks, a hydrologist, finds himself caught between the FBI and a Native American group in a mystery that deals with treaty rights, civil rights and water rights. Sounds a bit heavy doesn't it? But Everett pulls it all together in this book. Interspersed with ...             Suder (Voices of the South) Percival L. Everett Louisiana State University Press, 1999 YOU WILL LAUGH OUT LOUD WHILE READING THIS BOOK This book has a main character, Craig, who's a professional baseball player who has hit a major slump in the major leagues and takes some time off. While soul searching and trying to maintain some semblance of sanity, Craig takes the reader through his abnormal ...             Grand Canyon, Inc. Percival Everett Versus Press, 2001 The funniest thing I've read in a long time I have not read any of Everett's other works but I will now. Grand Canyon Inc. is hilarious--a wild mad-cap romp following the life of red-blooded American, Rhino Tanner, hunter, developer, man's man, and a complete moron. This somewhere between Vonnegut and Voltaire ...          products you might be interested in search for books african-american, american, directory, jefferson, magazines, watershed      toavi.com    web we recommend An interesting book from an historic standpoint. randomly chosen book: Gregory Cool
