James with Percival Everett

An action-packed, harrowing, and funny reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, this brilliant new novel is told from the enslaved Jim's point of view. A New York Times bestseller from the “literary icon” (Oprah Daily) and Pulitzer Prize Finalist Percival Everett, Jim’s agency, intelligence, and compassion are shown in a radically new light. Percival will be joined in conversation with journalist and political commentator Michael Harriot.

While many narrative set pieces of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river’s banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin…), James is brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime.
