What if the story of Huckleberry Finn was told from Jim’s perspective? In James, acclaimed author Percival Everett delivers a brilliant, harrowing, and darkly humorous retelling, where Jim—the enslaved man at the heart of Twain’s classic—takes control of his own narrative.
As Jim flees the impending sale that would tear him from his wife and daughter forever, he finds himself on a fateful journey down the Mississippi River with Huck Finn. But in Everett’s hands, Jim is no longer a side character—he is a man of intelligence, agency, and profound humanity.
