We will be reading and discussing James by Percival Everett and discussing it at our virtual meeting on Thursday, April 24th. James by Percival Everett reimagines The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim, the runaway slave. This powerful retelling explores Jim’s intelligence, resourcefulness, and quest for freedom while offering sharp commentary on slavery and racism. Through vivid encounters and a shifting narrative, James delves into Jim’s humanity, providing a fresh, poignant perspective on a classic American story about survival, identity, and dignity.
