25:37
Renowned author and USC professor Percival Everett’s latest novel ‘James’ was both “66 years in the making” and an idea that came to him... on a tennis court! It’s a story he shares with The Girlfriend Book Club and one you won’t want to miss. Everett, whose newest novel won the 2024 National Book Award for fiction, has a profound admiration for Mark Twain (along with several other authors he mentions) and talks about how ‘James’ relates to ‘Huckleberry Finn’ and stands alone.
