In a small office cluttered with books and other vestiges 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.
