This is my third Percival Everett novel, and each one explores similar themes with a consistent, distinctive style. He's like a philosopher revisiting the same question from fresh angles. I really enjoy seeing how he brings his authorial voice to different genres.What began as a murder mystery unfolded into a potent critique of environmental racism, the enduring legacy of settler colonialism, and the illusion of neutrality. "Smart and layered" is how I keep describing his work. In Watershed, actual treaty excerpts and hydrological data aren’t just details, they’re brilliant narrative devices that deepen the novel’s themes and push readers to engage critically.
