Dr. No

Percival Everett's playful novel centers on Wala Kitu, a mathematician whose expertise is on nothing, making him the ideal partner for an ambitious villain planning to steal “nothing” from Fort Knox and turn a town into nothingness. As the story unfolds, Wala Kitu navigates his role in the villain’s schemes and uncovers deeper motives rooted in American history and identity. This witty, madcap tale explores themes of nothingness and societal reflection through a clever and engaging narrative.
