Résumés

This paper will deal with the various functions of clichés in Percival Everett’s literary work, illustrated with examples drawn from God’s Country, Wounded, and I Am Not Sidney Poitier. It will dwell more specifically on the critical function of clichés and on the play with the reader’s expectations that is created through revisiting references and preconceived ideas.
