Description
A wickedly funny and intellectually provocative novel about identity, race, and the absurdity of modern life.
In Telephone, acclaimed author Percival Everett delivers a brilliant and satirical exploration of contemporary America through the lens of a protagonist navigating the complexities of modern existence. With his signature blend of dark humor and sharp social commentary, Everett crafts a narrative that challenges readers' assumptions while entertaining them with wit and intelligence.
The novel follows its central character through a series of encounters and observations that reveal the bizarre contradictions and hypocrisies of contemporary society. Everett's masterful prose dissects issues of race, class, and identity with surgical precision, creating moments of both profound insight and laugh-out-loud absurdity.
Known for his ability to blend high literary art with accessible storytelling, Everett once again demonstrates why he's considered one of America's most important contemporary voices. Telephone is both a mirror reflecting our cultural moment and a lens focusing on the universal human experience.
Essential reading from a master satirist who continues to push the boundaries of contemporary American fiction.
Key themes: Contemporary American life, racial identity, social satire, modern absurdity, cultural criticism, dark humor
