The debut novel by the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of James and The Trees, republished in the Picador Collection.

A haunting and tragicomic modern Western from the award-winning author of James and The Trees, published in the Picador Collection.

Theodore becomes an object of derision and morbid curiosity to the press, a prized specimen for scientists and Satan incarnate to an obscure religious cult deep in the desert.

Finalist for the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for FictionZach Wells is a perpetually dissatisfied geologist-slash-paleobiologist. Expert in a very narrow area - the geological history of a cave forty-four metres above the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon - he is a laconic man who plays chess with his daughter, trades puns with his wife while she does yoga, and dodges committee work at the college where he teaches. After a field trip to the desert yields nothing more than a colleague with a tenure problem and a student with an unwelcome crush on him, Wells returns home to find his world crumbling. His daughter has lost her edge at chess, she has developed mysterious eye problems, and her memory has lost its grasp. Powerless in the face of his daughter's slow deterioration, he finds a mysterious note asking for help tucked into the pocket of a jacket he's ordered off eBay. Desperate for someone to save, he sets off to New Mexico in secret on a quixotic rescue mission. A deeply affecting story about the lengths to which loss and grief will drive us, Telephone is a Percival Everett novel we should have seen coming all along, one that will shake you to the core as it asks questions about the power of narrative to save.

Percival Everett's deadpan humor and insightful commentary about the artistic life culminate in a brilliantly readable novel.

Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book PrizeFinalist for the PEN / Faulkner Award for FictionA man visits his ageing father in a nursing home, where his father writes the novel he imagines his son would write. Or is it the novel that the son imagines his father would imagine, if he were to imagine the kind of novel the son would write?Not only is Percival Everett by Virgil Russell a powerful, compassionate meditation on old age and its humiliations, it is an ingenious culmination of Everett¿s recurring preoccupations. All of his prior work, his metaphysical and philosophical enquiries, his investigations into the nature of narrative, have led to this masterful book.

The sudden death of Not Sidney Poitier's mother orphans him at age eleven. He is left with a name no one understands, an uncanny resemblance to an Oscar-winning actor, and serious amount of shares in the Turner Corporation. Percival Everett's novel follows Not Sidney's tumultuous life, as the social hierarchy scrambles to balance his skin colour with his fabulous wealth. Maturing under the less than watchful eye of his adopted foster father, Ted Turner, Not Sidney learns to navigate a world that doesn't know what to do with him. This novel ranks as one of the greatest achievements of Percival Everett, an overlooked master of American storytelling.

A brilliantly postmodern set of short stories from one of America's most inventive living writers.

A baffling triptych of murder mysteries by the author of The Trees and James.

A madcap spy satire from one of America's most prodigiously talented novelists.

The Booker Prize-shortlisted satire of revenge and racial justice in America.

Training horses is dangerous - a head-to-head confrontation with 1,000 pounds of muscle takes courage. Highly praised for his storytelling and ability to address the toughest issues of our time with a touching originality, Everett offers a brilliant novel that explores a divided America.
