Bookshelf Treasures: James

Our next read for Bookshelf Treasures is:

James by Percival Everett 

Join us as we dive into James, Percival Everett’s bold and brilliant reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Told from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man at the heart of Twain’s classic, this novel gives voice, agency, and depth to a character long overlooked. With sharp wit, historical insight, and profound humanity, Everett explores race, freedom, language, and identity in America—both past and present. A powerful companion to Twain's original and a compelling work in its own right, James will spark lively discussion and thoughtful reflection.
