Percival Everett does not worry about his profile as a novelist. His 2001 novel, Erasure, is his most well-known novel, an irony not lost on him. An African American who does not presume to write about “the African American experience,” Everett has received more attention for Erasure, which satirizes the relationship between race and the American publishing industry, among other subjects, than for any of his other novels. His varied interests are on display here as he speaks about how “uncategorizable” is still a category, the difference between being exotic and merely being out of place, and the distinction between Strom Thurmond hating black people and just liking white people more
