Accepting the honor at Wednesday’s National Book Awards Ceremony in New York, Everett — whose previous novel, “Erasure,” was adapted into the Oscar-winning 2023 comedy “American Fiction” — remarked that despite “feeling pretty low” in recent weeks, “As I look out at this, so much excitement about books, I have to say I do feel some hope.”

However, the author, who died in 2023, apparently lived out much of his bestseller “All the Pretty Horses” with a woman named Augusta Britt.

When McCarthy sent her the manuscript for “All the Pretty Horses” in the 1980s, she was confused by how much the novel was “full of me, and yet isn’t me.”

It was a sort of King Ralph situation but for the Department of Justice, down to Whitaker and John Goodman both having been pretty solid football players in their younger days.

And that sends a pretty clear message about who Trump Term Two is for.
