So Much Blue

So Much Blue is a novel by American writer Percival Everett first published in 2017 by Graywolf Press.

The novel is centered on Kevin Pace, an American abstract painter, as a "coming of middle-age" story, where he reflects on the three most defining periods in his life. The novel splits Kevin's life into the chapters containing his present, near past, and distant past: "House", "Paris" and "1979" respectively. While he struggles to reconcile with the secrets and events from his past, he also works on a secret painting dominated by the color blue.

Everett's straightforward writing style develops So Much Blue into a very structured story as he seamlessly switches between the three unique narratives in the novel. There are some parallels the novel makes to Don DeLillo’s The Names and Alberto Moravia's Boredom creating a blend of the "shadowy doings of a failed marriage, a jaded painter-narrator", and a buddy picture.

The novel received the California Book Award for Fiction (Silver) in 2017, and it is known as one of Everett's best works. It has been praised by critics for its realism, simplicity, and tasteful execution of literary tropes.
