Description
Percival Everett’s “James” is a masterful retelling of “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” centering the story on Jim, the enslaved man who embarks on a perilous journey toward freedom. Through sharp wit and profound insight, Everett subverts the original tale, giving voice to a character long marginalized in literature. The novel delves into the complexities of race, power, and survival, blending humor and heartbreak in equal measure. A must-read for fans of literary fiction, “James” is a compelling and timely exploration of America’s past and its enduring echoes in the present.
