Damned If I Do by Percival Everett
Everett's stories in Damned If I Do ingeniously address issues of race and prejudice by simultaneously satirising and celebrating the human condition. An artist, a cop, a cowboy, several fly-fisherman, and even a reluctant romance novelist inhabit these revealing and often hilarious stories.
"Everett is a clever writer with a gift for parody and a formidable library in his head"-The Washington Post; "It's hard to pigeonhole Percival Everett. Working between the traditions of the academy and the African American tall tale, he writes with a sharp satirical voice only predictable in its provocation."-Playboy; "Everett's Damned if I Do should be a treat for both his devotees and the uninitiated. These dozen stories exhibit his characteristically sardonic humor and his well-modulated moral outrage, as well as a masterful command of narrative."-San Francisco Chronicle; "What makes Everett's prose stand out from others in high literary circles is how its intense intellect is harnessed by a playful and grounded aesthetic. . . Bring this book with you during your travels in the new year. The ride will go by in a snap."-The Seattle Times
