520    A sly, madcap novel about supervillains and nothing, 
       really, from an American novelist whose star keeps rising 
       The protagonist of Percival Everett's puckish new novel is
       a brilliant professor of mathematics who goes by Wala 
       Kitu. (Wala, he explains, means "nothing" in Tagalog, and 
       Kitu is Swahili for "nothing.") He is an expert on 
       nothing. That is to say, he is an expert, and his area of 
       study is nothing, and he does nothing about it. This makes
       him the perfect partner for the aspiring villain John Sill,
       who wants to break into Fort Knox to steal, well, not gold
       bars but a shoebox containing nothing. Once he controls 
       nothing he'll proceed with a dastardly plan to turn a 
       Massachusetts town into nothing. Or so he thinks. With the
       help of the brainy and brainwashed astrophysicist-turned-
       henchwoman Eigen Vector, our professor tries to foil the 
       villain while remaining in his employ. In the process, 
       Wala Kitu learns that Sill's desire to become a literal 
       Bond villain originated in some real all-American villainy
       related to the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. As Sill 
       says, "Professor, think of it this way. This country has 
       never given anything to us and it never will. We have 
       given everything to it. I think it's time we gave nothing 
       back."
