Welcome to The Writers' Cafe! Brought to you from the award-winning indie, Sevenoaks Bookshop!
This week's visitor to the cafe is, without hyperbole, one of the greatest current writers of American letters, Percival Everett. Percival joined us a few months ago to celebrate the release of James, his retelling of Huckleberry Finn, which has just been shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2024. We knew what a hugely exciting opportunity this was so recorded the event to bring to you, via this podcast. Percival's acclaim feels endless and deserved. His novel Erasure was recently adapted into an Academy Award winning film, American Fiction, starring Jeffery Wright. His novel The Trees was shortlisted for the Booker in 2022, as well! Aside from this, Percival is a Distinguished Professor in Literature in Southern California. We still cannot believe we had the honour of hosting Percival, and the joy of celebrating James, and now in bringing it to you, we hope to have captured some of the real magic of our live events.
If you like the sound of this, a live event, then more information can be found on our website, featuring all of our immensely exciting events coming up. Signing up to our mailing list is a great way to ensure you never miss out on the great writers coming through our doors: https://sevenoaksbookshop.co.uk/join-our-mailing-list/
