Join us for a discussion of Percival Everett's thought-provoking James a reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn—told from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man at the heart of Twain’s classic. Set in antebellum America, James follows Jim’s perilous journey toward freedom after learning his wife and daughter have been sold. As he flees down the Mississippi River, he’s joined by Huck Finn, a boy escaping his own troubled life. Together, they navigate a landscape fraught with danger, deception, and moral complexity.
