Kraushaar Auditorium, Goucher College
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon with Percival Everett, the 2025 Pulitzer Prize winner and one of the most inventive, fearless voices in contemporary fiction. In conversation with Baltimore County Public Library CEO Sonia Alcántara-Antoine, Everett will dive into his genre-defying body of work, his creative process and the stories behind his most celebrated novels.
Author of The Trees, Erasure, James and more, Everett blends razor-sharp satire, bold experimentation and deep emotional resonance to explore race, identity, justice and the complexity of the human experience. With accolades including the Booker Prize shortlist and now a Pulitzer Prize win, his work continues to captivate readers and challenge the boundaries of modern literature.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear directly from one of today’s most original literary voices.
Admission is free, but reservations are required. The tickets are available starting Friday, February 27 at 2 p.m. through the Goucher Ticket Office website.
The Foundation’s donor reception with Percival Everett begins at 12 p.m. (noon). Enjoy a delicious lunch and exclusive access to the author before the main event. For more information about attending, contact Josh McCready.
