The Trees by Percival Everett

4.0

Starts out as a confounding murder mystery and just gets weirder and weirder. Immersive in tone, style, dialect, and content. And you’ll have to brush up on your history of the United States if you’re wanting to fully understand it. An indictment of the country’s racist past related to lynching with a load of magical realism tossed in and still a great story on top of that.
