James by Percival Everett

Monday, July 13, 6:00 pm

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, retold from the enslaved Jim’s point of view has become a both harrowing and ferociously funny story in Percival Everett’s new novel, James. While many narrative set pieces of Twain’s original novel remain in place, Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light. (In development as a feature film to be produced by Steven Spielberg.)
