In a small office cluttered with books and other detritus of the writer's life, filmmaker Alexandre Westphal and the writer Percival Everett explore his work. Archival images are projected onto the walls, invading the space and intermingling with Everett's text, to illuminate many of the myriad and fascinating ways that his books reveal contemporary America to itself.

Ernest Mitchell is assistant professor of English and Humanities at Yale University. He is currently writing a biography of the Jamaican writer Claude McKay.
