Reviews
"With a highwire combination of whodunnit, horror, humor and razor blade sharp insight The Trees is a fitting tribute of a novel: Hard to put down and impossible to forget." --NPR.org "The Trees is a wild book: a gory pulp revenge fantasy and a detective narrative. . . . [It] is just as blood-soaked and just as hilarious as Inglourious Basterds or Django Unchained, but it comes with more authentic historical weight for being set in a dreamlike counterpresent." --Bookforum "The Trees is unlike any other. Everett draws from a series of genres--literary novel, police procedural, horror--to create a book that's both unique and difficult to describe. It's a delicate balancing act that he pulls off masterfully, another brilliant book by one of the most essential authors in American literature." --Michael Schaub, Alta Journal "This fierce satire is both deeply troubling and rewarding." -- Booklist , starred review "At points witty, surreal, and farcical, The Trees is a timely commentary by an American master on the ways that white supremacy continues to haunt us whether we realize it or not." --Oprah Daily "[The Trees] blends Everett's wit with elegy and solemnity." --The Boston Globe "The Trees weaves tropes of pulp-cop noir with trademark acuity and genre-bending inventiveness to deliver a swift, startlingly expansive take on the legacy of lynching in the American South." --Porter House Review "A darkly amusing read, The Trees directly addresses racism, police brutality, and a culture of violence in a way that's as urgent as it is uproarious." --Ploughshares, "Everett has mastered the movement between unspeakable terror and knockout comedy." --The New York Times Book Review "[The Trees] blends Everett's wit with elegy and solemnity." --The Boston Globe "With a highwire combination of whodunnit, horror, humor and razor blade sharp insight The Trees is a fitting tribute of a novel: Hard to put down and impossible to forget." --NPR.org "In The Trees, Everett's enormous talent for wordplay--the kind that provokes laughter and the kind that gut-punches--is at its peak. . . . He makes a revenge fantasy into a comic horror masterpiece. He turns narrative stakes into moral stakes and raises them sky-high. Readers will laugh until it hurts." --Los Angeles Times "The Trees is a wild book: a gory pulp revenge fantasy and a detective narrative. . . . [It] is just as blood-soaked and just as hilarious as Inglourious Basterds or Django Unchained, but it comes with more authentic historical weight for being set in a dreamlike counterpresent." --Bookforum "Uproarious and grisly. . . . Everett forces readers to confront atrocities endured by Black Americans in this briskly paced hybrid of whodunit, madcap comedy, and horror story. . . . It's a testament to Everett's immense skill as a writer that he is able to take such grim material and make it hilarious, poignant, and infuriating." --Michael Magras, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "The Trees is unlike any other. Everett draws from a series of genres--literary novel, police procedural, horror--to create a book that's both unique and difficult to describe. It's a delicate balancing act that he pulls off masterfully, another brilliant book by one of the most essential authors in American literature." --Michael Schaub, Alta Journal "Everett is going for an unstable cocktail of broad parody, mystery and social justice, and the result feels thrillingly volatile, and brave, a swing at a new kind of novel on American violence." --Chris Borrelli, Chicago Tribune, 10 Best Books of 2021 "This fierce satire is both deeply troubling and rewarding." -- Booklist , starred review "At points witty, surreal, and farcical, The Trees is a timely commentary by an American master on the ways that white supremacy continues to haunt us whether we realize it or not." --Oprah Daily "The delicate tonal balance of [The Trees] could only be executed by a master like Everett. If there is one commonality of his work, it's his consistent boldness in executing ideas." --Lincoln Michel, Biblioracle "The Trees weaves tropes of pulp-cop noir with trademark acuity and genre-bending inventiveness to deliver a swift, startlingly expansive take on the legacy of lynching in the American South." --Porter House Review "A darkly amusing read, The Trees directly addresses racism, police brutality, and a culture of violence in a way that's as urgent as it is uproarious." --Ploughshares, "Everett has mastered the movement between unspeakable terror and knockout comedy." --The New York Times Book Review "[The Trees] blends Everett's wit with elegy and solemnity." --The Boston Globe "With a highwire combination of whodunnit, horror, humor and razor blade sharp insight The Trees is a fitting tribute of a novel: Hard to put down and impossible to forget." --NPR.org "In The Trees, Everett's enormous talent for wordplay--the kind that provokes laughter and the kind that gut-punches--is at its peak. . . .

Synopsis
Shortlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize Winner of the 2022 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Finalist for the 2022 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Finalist for the 2023 Dublin Literary Award Longlisted for the 2022 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction An uncanny literary thriller addressing the painful legacy of lynching in the US, by the author of Telephone Percival Everett's The Trees is a page-turner that opens with a series of brutal murders in the rural town of Money, Mississippi. When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist White townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till. The detectives suspect that these are killings of retribution, but soon discover that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country. Something truly strange is afoot. As the bodies pile up, the MBI detectives seek answers from a local root doctor who has been documenting every lynching in the country for years, uncovering a history that refuses to be buried. In this bold, provocative book, Everett takes direct aim at racism and police violence, and does so in a fast-paced style that ensures the reader can't look away. The Trees is an enormously powerful novel of lasting importance from an author with his finger on America's pulse., Shortlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize Winner of the 2022 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Finalist for the 2022 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Longlisted for the 2022 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction An uncanny literary thriller addressing the painful legacy of lynching in the US, by the author of Telephone Percival Everett's The Trees is a page-turner that opens with a series of brutal murders in the rural town of Money, Mississippi.

- e***n (391)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
