Explore Percival Everett’s sharp use of irony and language with Dr. David Green, and how works like James challenge views on race and identity.
Percival Everett uses irony and satire to expose hidden biases and values in his characters and readers. His Pulitzer Prize-winning novel James (2025) exemplifies this brilliance.
In this talk, Dr. David Green will explore Everett’s creative use of language and how the idea of the sojourn shapes characters across his novels and short stories—challenging readers to reflect on themselves through awkward predicaments and the absurd ways race informs self-critical perspectives.
Date: Saturday, February 21
Time: 2:00 PM
Location: Georgetown Neighborhood Library
Dr. David F. Green Jr. is Associate Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Literature and Writing at Howard University.
✅ This event is free and open to the public. We look forward to seeing you there!
