Ever wonder what Huckleberry Finn would feel like if Jim held the reins? Percival Everett's James flips Mark Twain's iconic tale on its head, letting the enslaved man tell his own story of escape, survival, and reclaiming dignity.
Jim learns he's about to be sold, torn from his wife and daughter. No more waiting—he bolts for free states, rafting the mighty Mississippi with young Huck by chance. Every bend brings peril: desperate hunger, shipwrecks, or worse, lynch mobs. But freedom glimmers ahead, driving them through the heart of a savagely racist America.
With his trademark wit and storytelling finesse, Everett subverts the original, centering racial empowerment and human worth. It's not just adventure; it's a profound look at identity and injustice, wrapped in page-turning tension. Readers feel the river's chill, hear the whispers of danger, taste the grit of defiance.
