The Trees isn't all humor, though. Not at all. Woven within Everett's laugh-out-loud snarky commentary is a revenge tale that requires the reader to remember thousands of people of color who have been lynched in the United States. And how the preparators of those murders nearly always went unpunished. Ultimately, The Trees is a compelling novel about reckoning with the continuing legacy of racial hatred in this country.
