Percival Everett

The Profile

Percival Everett is an American novelist known for satirical and experimental literary fiction.

The Italian edition of Deserto Americano was translated by Marco Rossari and published by Nutrimenti in November 2009 (263 pages). The review on DeBaser focuses on the novel's opening and Everett's precise, ironic prose.

The review by odradek highlights the novel's startling opening—an apparently decapitated man who returns to life—and praises Percival Everett's precise, allusive, ironic writing. The reviewer stops at page 93 but finds the start contains "everything we need" and intends to lend the book. Notes: Italian edition translated by Marco Rossari, published by Nutrimenti (November 2009), 263 pages.
