Reviews
"Finely executed. . . . Literary chameleon [Percival] Everett can veer from wicked cultural satire ( Erasure , one of the most inventive novels of this young century) to absurdism to action fiction, this centrist work will surely appeal to Everett readers, and its self-reflective realism should bring in some news ones as well." -- Library Journal, "Engrossing. . . . [Percival Everett's] deft plotting and wry wit sustain multiple levels of intrigue, not only about how each of the subplots resolves itself, but how they all fit together." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Art, friendship, family, and sex all jostle for priority of focus in the prolific Everett's contemplative new novel. . . . [An] intellectually provocative work." -- Publishers Weekly "Finely executed. . . . Literary chameleon [Percival] Everett can veer from wicked cultural satire ( Erasure , one of the most inventive novels of this young century) to absurdism to action fiction, this centrist work will surely appeal to Everett readers, and its self-reflective realism should bring in some news ones as well." -- Library Journal "In his always insightful style, Everett offers a portrait of a man sensitive to the slightest nuance of color and composition but often oblivious to the complexities and subtleties of human relationships, a man struggling to unite the pieces of himself into a harmonious whole, a man worthy of love and family." -- Booklist, "By turns funny, shocking and heartbreaking, it's one of his best books to date. And with a career as distinguished as Everett's, that's saying something. . . . It's not surprising that So Much Blue is such a perfectly structured novel; Everett is an author who started his career off strong and just keeps getting better. It's a generous, thrilling book by a man who might well be America's most under-recognized literary master, and readers will be thinking about it long after the last page." --NPR.org "Writing in straightforward, seemingly effortless prose, Everett . . . creates suspense by subtly withholding information. . . . Captivating and pleasurable, especially those pages devoted to El Salvador, So Much Blue is a 'coming of middle-age' story worth gazing into." -- Los Angeles Times "Three stories, scattered across time, fuse into one stunning tale in Percival Everett's latest novel. Each individual strand of So Much Blue has a page-turning urgency of its own -- but taken together they add up to a masterpiece." -- Boston Globe "This quiet, wise novel is like a flame: illuminating, and cool blue at the core." -- The Village Voice "Tightly wound and slow-burning. . . . Americans dabbling in politics, drugs, bloodsport south of the border; an American indulging in faithless love in Paris; class posturing among Americans in Rhode Island -- Everett has blended these disparate strands of an imagined life into a quietly beguiling novel. That he's constructed it on an edifice of clichs, sanded down and transformed into combustive elements, is a sign of his mastery of the form." -- New York Magazine "In Everett's eloquent telling, art and life are . . . beautiful and rare, and the source of myriad choices." -- Houston Chronicle "It is a testament to Percival Everett's enormous talent that . . . So Much Blue does succeed in meshing its wildly different parts into a whole. . . . Everett brings something to the contemporary American novel that is . . . sorely missing: utter fearlessness in placing demands upon a reader combined with real compassion for ordinary people. . . . [H]e possesses . . . an extraordinarily deft capacity for rendering human foibles without contempt." -- n+1 "Engrossing. . . . [Percival Everett's] deft plotting and wry wit sustain multiple levels of intrigue, not only about how each of the subplots resolves itself, but how they all fit together." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Art, friendship, family, and sex all jostle for priority of focus in the prolific Everett's contemplative new novel. . . .

Synopsis
A new high point for a master novelist, an emotionally charged reckoning with art, marriage, and the past Kevin Pace is working on a painting that he won't allow anyone to see: not his children; not his best friend, Richard; not even his wife, Linda. The painting is a canvas of twelve feet by twenty-one feet (and three inches) that is covered entirely in shades of blue. It may be his masterpiece or it may not; he doesn't know or, more accurately, doesn't care. What Kevin does care about are the events of the past. Ten years ago he had an affair with a young watercolorist in Paris. Kevin relates this event with a dispassionate air, even a bit of puzzlement. It's not clear to him why he had the affair, but he can't let it go. In the more distant past of the late seventies, Kevin and Richard traveled to El Salvador on the verge of war to retrieve Richard's drug-dealing brother, who had gone missing without explanation. As the events of the past intersect with the present, Kevin struggles to justify the sacrifices he's made for his art and the secrets he's kept from his wife. So Much Blue features Percival Everett at his best, and his deadpan humor and insightful commentary about the artistic life culminate in a brilliantly readable new novel.
