„Something’s going on in the state of Mississippi“: „The Trees“ by Percival Everett
Percival Everett’s new novel is a hilarious pastiche on Neo-noir and horror that efficiently combines the irony of „Fargo“, the deadpan dialogues of „Pulp Fiction” and the unsettling metaphorical force of Jordan Peele’s „Get Out”. It also is a shockingly violent and cathartically angry novel about US-American racism – and therefore a must-read.
