Just finished The Trees and absolutely enjoyed it. Everett’s use of dialogue was so well done. I want to read as many of his books as possible. Kudos to the Booker Prize for recognizing his work. The chapter with the names was so incredibly powerful - especially when when you realize that these are all real names of real people who perished.

Since I read The Trees a few weeks ago, I've been on a Percival Everett (book) bender! All excellent, infused with insight, humanity and humor.
