Readers Club | Percival Everett
In "James", Everett places Jim, the enslaved character in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, front and center in this powerful narrative, giving voice to his untold story. Brimming with humor while delivering biting observations on themes of race and freedom, James is a provocative and unforgettable page turner that will forever alter our perception of American literature.
