Wow, Erasure this is a great book. I’ll confess that Percival Everett‘s was a name unknown to me before accepting this novel for review, but it turns out Everett is an established figure, with over 20 books out there, including I Am Not Sidney Poitier, American Desert and Swimming Swimming Swimming.

Anyone who speaks to members of his family knows that sharing a language does not mean you share the rules governing the use of that language.

The last thing he expects is what actually happens. And this creates a dilemma; actually, more than one.

Whether intended as calculated inquiry into a state of affairs or, more multifariously, as a mode of provocation, satire, as it is conceived today, includes calculated “difficulty,” makes use of “unstable irony,” and tends to acquire “a momentum of its own” (Griffin 64). In this way, especially with regard to the multiple processes it is said to include, the definitions of satire seem to have moved in the same direction as those of parody. The satire in Erasure should be seen in this context, although compared to the rambunctious tone of his parody and compared to the comical accounts of the meetings and discussions of the award-giving procedure, Monk’s performance as a fake author (and Everett’s satirical description of it) is comparatively restrained, which has a lot to do with the rather bleak condition of his professional and family life.
