Publisher's Synopsis
A man visits his aging father in a nursing home, where his father writes the novel he imagines his son would write. Or is it the novel that the son imagines his father would imagine, if he were to imagine the kind of novel the son would write? A powerful, compassionate meditation on old age and its humiliations, this is Percival Everett s most important and elusive novel to date. Published for the first time in the UK, Percival Everett by Virgil Russell is like nothing you've read before, or will ever read again.
