Together they showcase Everett's extraordinary range, moving between comic invention, unflinching social commentary, and reimagined American history. A superb introduction or gift for readers of serious, prize-winning contemporary fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDr. No follows Wala Kitu, a Brown University mathematics professor who studies nothing quite literally, until a billionaire villain recruits him for an audacious heist on Fort Knox aimed at reducing America itself to nothing. Blending absurdist comedy with pointed political satire, it is vintage Everett: playful, philosophical, and quietly devastating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Trees opens with a spate of brutal murders in Money, Mississippi, each scene accompanied by a second, unidentified corpse resembling Emmett Till, the teenager lynched in the same town decades earlier. As copycat killings spread nationwide, two investigators are drawn into a reckoning with America's violent racial history. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, it is by turns a gripping thriller and a searing indictment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJames retells Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man fleeing sale and separation from his family along the Mississippi River. Everett transforms a canonical American story into something urgent, funny, and profoundly moving, restoring voice and interiority to a character long defined by others. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the National Book Award, and the Kirkus Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree acclaimed novels by a Pulitzer Prize-winning author in one matching hardback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes James, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award and Kirkus Prize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures The Trees, shortlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of literary satire, historical fiction, and reimagined classics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy hardback editions ideal for collecting or gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA standout addition to any serious contemporary fiction shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPercival Everett is an acclaimed American novelist and Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Southern California.
