Thelonius "Monk" Ellison是一位博学多识、造诣颇深却读者寥寥的作家，他宁愿写晦涩难懂的文学论文，也不愿写能让他获得商业成功的所谓“贫民窟散文”。在脱口秀节目中看到毕业于Oberlin的《We's Lives in da Ghetto》作者后，他终于抵制不住诱惑，以Stagg R. Leigh的匪帮假名向惊愕不已的经纪人寄去了一部讽刺恶搞之作《My Pafology》。Ellison很快发现自己从一家大出版社拿到了六位数的预付款，并获得了数百万美元的电影版权报价

……Percival Everett 的性格和创作方式。他是我最喜欢的作家之一。可惜他的知名度完全配不上他的才华。很久以前我读过《God's Country》（2003），既奇特又引人入胜。《Erasure》（2011）则是那种纯粹的爆笑 [1]。他四个月前刚出的新书《Telephone》[2]，目前排在我“下一本必买”书单的第一位（其实，我刚下单了……）。大多数人并不知道它印了……
…Percival Everett's character and way of working. He is one of my favorite authors. Sadly not nearly as well known as he deserves. Long ago, I read God's Country (2003), which was strange and captivating. Erasure (2011) was flat out very funny [1]. His latest book, Telephone[2], which came out four months ago, is top of my "buy next" list (actually, I just ordered it...). Most people don't know it is printed…
……对政治和政府的辛辣讽刺。政客和公务员之间存在大量博弈，正好映照了政客与民众之间的微妙互动，尤其是在“系统性滞后”这种问题上。Percival Everett 的《Erasure》。一本关于种族身份迎合与刻板预期的书。这属于极少数电影（《American Fiction》/《美国小说》）可能比原著小说还要好的奇特案例。不过读起来倒是非常轻松顺畅。我不知道什么……
…skewering of politics and government. There's a lot of interplay between politicians and civil servants that mirrors some play between politicians and people, especially in the case of "systemic lag". Erasure by Percival Everett. A book on racial conformity and expectations. A weird case where the movie (American Fiction) might be better than the book. Pretty easy and quick read however. I don't know what…
这正好对上了 Percival Everett 在《Erasure》（2001）里极尽嘲讽的情节，这本书后来被改编成了电影《American Fiction》（美国小说）。
This matches what was lampooned in Erasure(2001) by Percival Everett and adapted into the movie American Fiction.
