From an AP story by Hillel Italie headlined “Arts and letters academy votes in Everett, Coppola, others”:

The honors keep coming in for fiction writer-poet Percival Everett.

On Tuesday, Everett was one of 19 new members announced for induction this spring into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the honor society that has included luminaries from Mark Twain to Toni Morrison over the past 120 years.
