Beyond the Book Club: "James" by Percival Everett

Beyond the Book Club: "James" by Percival Everett

This month's book is described as "a brilliant, action-packed reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn*, both harrowing and ferociously funny, told from the enslaved Jim's point of view. Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a "cult literary icon" (Oprah Daily), and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime, James is destined to be a major publishing event and a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature.

*Bonus points to anyone who reads/re-reads The Adventures of Hucklberry Finn before our discussion meeting so we can compare and contrast the 2 versions!
