It is possible that much of what is needed in order to help understand the incomparable work of Percival Everett has been said or more likely written by Everett himself. The challenge is to get more people to read it. This special issue is a modest attempt to contribute to a broadening of Everett's readership. In an interview published in The Canadian Review of American Studies in 2007, Everett made the following statement to me during a discussion of the problematic nature of readerly assumptions: That's the way we're trained to read. You step in water. Your shoe gets wet. It's not a good thing. It's not a bad thing. It's just a thing. This is the culture in which we live. This is the way we're trained to read. It's not a good thing. It's not a bad thing. But it's a thing. But it doesn't mean it has to remain that way. (300)
