09/07/2026 2 minutes to read The author of critically acclaimed debut Whale Fall recommends reads to take you from 1930s Berlin, to post‑war London, to 1970s Beijing. 09/07/2026 2 minutes to read I have always been taken with the idea that historical novelists are, in their own way, historians of the present.

From a speech delivered by Percival Everett at the Authors Guild Foundation Gala in April. I’m a storyteller, and I’m going to go off script and tell you a story if you don’t mind. This is dedicated to Carla Hayden. Where is she? And it takes place in the Library of Congress. I call it PC, Post-Carla, or PI, postintellectual.

O knize James James – román oceněný Pulitzerovou cenou – je specifickým převyprávěním slavného příběhu Marka Twaina Dobrodružství Huckleberryho Fina. Hlavním hrdinou je však černošský otrok Jim a spolu s ním chlapec Huck. Oba se shodou okolností ocitají na útěku: Jim proto, že má být prodán, Huck zase využije příležitosti a chystá se opustit svého tyranského otce. Použije prasečí krev, aby to vypadalo, že ho někdo zabil. Nedochází mu, že jeho zmizení může být připisováno právě Jimovi.
