Percival Everett (born December 22, 1956) is an American writer and Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Southern California.

1982

He earned an M.A. in fiction from Brown University in 1982.

He now lives in Los Angeles, California.

1983

While completing his M.A. degree, Everett wrote his first novel, Suder (1983).

His lead character was Craig Suder, a Seattle Mariners third baseman in a major league slump, both on and off the field.

1985

Everett's second novel, Walk Me to the Distance (1985), features veteran David Larson after his return from Vietnam.

Larson becomes involved in a search for the developmentally disabled son of a sheep rancher in Slut's Whole, Wyoming.

The novel was later adapted, with an altered plot, as an ABC-TV movie entitled Follow Your Heart.

1986

Cutting Lisa (1986; re-issued 2000) begins with John Livesey meeting a man who has performed a Caesarean section.

This prompts the protagonist to evaluate his relationships.

1987

In 1987, Everett published The Weather and Women Treat Me Fair: Stories, a collection of short stories set mostly in the contemporary western United States.

1990

In 1990, Everett published two books re-fashioning Greek myths: Zulus, which combines the grotesque and the apocalypse; and For Her Dark Skin, a new version of Medea by the Greek playwright Euripides.

1992

Switching genres, Everett next wrote a children's book, The One That Got Away (1992).

This illustrated book for young readers follows three cowboys as they attempt to corral "ones", the mischievous numerals.

1994

Returning to novels, Everett published his first book-length western, God's Country, in 1994.

In this novel, Curt Marder and his black tracker Bubba search "God's country" for Marder's wife, who has been kidnapped by bandits.

Marder is not sure whether he wants to find her.

The book is a parody of westerns and the politics of race and gender.

It includes a cross-dressing George Armstrong Custer.

1996

In 1996, Everett published two books: Watershed has a contemporary western setting, in which the loner hydrologist Robert Hawkes meets a Native American "small person", who helps him come to terms with the inter-relation of people.

That year, Everett also published his second collection of stories, Big Picture.

1997

In Frenzy (1997), Everett returned to Greek mythology.

Vlepo, Dionysos's assistant, is forced to undergo a "frenzy" of odd activities, including becoming lice and bedroom curtains at different times during the story, which he narrates.

These events occur so that he can explain these experiences to Dionysos, the demi-god.

1999
