The Trees
is a chimera. Its predominant tone is one of puerile, derisive humour. Its subject is a provocative race-revenge fantasy. Its method is schlocky horror with a little buddy-cop banter thrown in. The resulting loopy comedy/horror/history lesson is (at times) hilarious and (always) a powerful Black Lives Matter polemic. This is a novel that reaches its top gear right out of the gate—delivering multiple shocks with grisly (and impossible) murders, grotesque, openly racist characters (who make frequent use of the n-word) with kooky names, and a never-let-up pace. This is exhilarating but the effect wears off somewhat as the book settles into its rhythms. The story then advances by adding volume rather than variation or intensity: more murders, more victims, the same M.O. repeated ad nauseum . I think this was purposeful, a way to mirror the banality and repetitiousness of the crimes being avenged—centuries of lynchings (and as one character says ‘I consider police shootings to be lynchings’ ). But if so, the aim was better achieved by the inclusion of two lists: a roll call of victims of race-hate violence, and later, the locations of the crimes. With their gravity and use of real victims’ names—some recent, painfully recognisable; others lost to time—these litanies puncture the book’s generally waggish tone to sobering effect. I admit I was waiting for a twist of the knife that never came, a final implication or provocation. No one reading The Trees would ever recognise themselves in the gormless idiots that are Everett’s over the top caricatures of white racism. And by focusing on ‘lynchings’ as such, there is a glaring lack of attention given to racist violence against women throughout history. The Trees is audacious, farcical, perverse, and ultimately potent, utilising the schlock-horror-comedy genre to examine Black trauma in a unique way. 4 stars.
