A review by hannicogood
Erasure, by Percival Everett

3.0

There’s quite a bit going on here. I think it is effective satire and also grapples with questions of the identity we create for ourselves and what we present to others, versus the identity others want us to have. However, the different references, the Latin phrases, the conversations between dead artists and philosophers, unfortunately meant that there was so much information the reader had to know to really “get” it 100%. I did not - and it does say more about me than the author. Everett is is an excellent writer and I will happily read more of his work, but I may need to take several philosophy classes first.
