Description: Percival Everett's stunning, tour-de-force satire about racism and the business of writing is also a deeply thoughtful study of family relations. Erasure is of course the novel turned into the celebrated film, American Fiction. This is the original first edition published by the University of New Hampshire Press, published in 2001. Signed by the author. Extremely rare. This copy has been read and has some shelf dust but is clean, tight, no dings, dents, or scuffs. Not an ex-library copy. Editorial reviews “With equal measures of sympathy and satire, [Erasure] craftily addresses the highly charged issue of being ‘black enough' in America.” ―Jenifer Berman, The New York Times Book Review“An over-the-top masterpiece. . . . Percival's talent is multifaceted, sparked by a satiric brilliance that could place him alongside Wright and Ellison as he skewers the conventions of racial and political correctness.” ―Publishers Weekly“A scathingly funny look at racism and the book business: editors, publishers, readers, and writers alike.” ―Booklist“More genuine and tender than much of Everett's previous work, but no less impressive intellectually: a high point in an already substantial literary career.” ―Kirkus Reviews
