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.

Unimpressive.. Well it’s not much of an invitation to read more of Everett’s works. I’ve never read a book with more grammatical errors in it. The author likes to laugh at the poor and the overweight. Beyond that it’s okay revenge porn, with some funny bits in it, if too reliant on lazy stereotypes and very tired tropes. I guess there’s an audience for it somewhere.

Rise. In the essence of our day, tragic and satirical, yet not. Everett has wound a masterpiece of symbolism and elegance so tightly it will leave one breathless, as it should.

Amazing. Heart-breaking and funny at the same time. You laugh, then you’re ashamed for having laughed because of all the darkness that’s portrayed. I looked up several of the names, and the ones I looked up were real. A sad testament to our racist history and current situation, yet a funny read. Didn’t think those two warring concepts would be in one sentence, but there you are.
