He is a Pulitzer Prize finalist—among many other awards—and his novel Erasure was recently adapted into the Oscar-winning film American Fiction. His latest novel\, James\, is a reimagining of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Huck’s enslaved friend Jim. Released in March 2024\, James became an instant New York Times Bestseller. Both the New York Times and Chicago Tribune laud the novel as “a masterpiece” that will “help redefine one of the classics of American literature.” Everett is a Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Southern California. \nClick here for more information on Percival Everett. \nThe Venue\nThe historic Capitol Theater is located at 123 Summers Street in the heart of downtown Charleston.

She believed that the humanities were at the heart of a democratic society\, a necessary source of wisdom and vision. \nPresented each October\, the McCreight Lecture affords West Virginians the opportunity to hear nationally respected scholars and public intellectuals on a variety of humanities topics. McCreight Lecturers have included Ken Burns\, Joyce Carol Oates\, Joseph Ellis\, Sylvia Nasar\, Henry Louis Gates\, Elaine Pagels\, Gordon Wood\, James McPherson\, Edmund Morris\, and Annette Gordon-Reed. \nAdmission to the McCreight Lectures is always free and open to the public.
