Beschreibung

<p><b>Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Percival Everett's <i>The Trees </i>is a powerful satire of revenge and racial justice in America.</b><br><br><b>'Page-turning comic horror' - <i>The Guardian</i><br>'Satire in the great tradition of Swift by way of South Park' - <i>The Daily Telegraph</i><br>'Hilarious and horrifying' - <i>The New Yorker</i></b><br><br>When the rural town of Money, Mississippi is beset by a series of brutal murders, a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive. They're greeted with resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a mob of racist white townsfolk.<br><br>This, they expect. Less predictable, however, is the second corpse which appears at each crime scene: that of a man resembling Emmett Till, the young Black boy lynched in the same town sixty-five years earlier.<br><br><b>As a spate of copycat killings spreads across the country, what begins as a murder investigation soon becomes a journey into the soul of America's violent past . . . </b><br><br><b>Read Percival's Pulitzer Prize-winning and Booker prize-shortlisted novel <i>James.</i></b></p>
