Dr. No: A Novel

"OK, stay with us. The latest novel from the always brilliant Percival Everett is about a Black professor who studies the concept of nothing and is recruited by a wannabe James Bond villain to rob Fort Knox, which contains not gold, but nothing. But the nothing is actually something. Kind of. This book is (obviously) hard to explain, but at its heart, it’s a sharp-witted satire about racism, violence and academia – and it proves why Everett is one of the most unpredictable and original novelists working today."
