James: A Novel, by Percival Everett

Loosely based on the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but told from the perspective of Jim, including his escape, his journey down the Mississippi River with Huck, and his encounters with both white and Black people. The story explores themes of identity, belonging, and the sacrifices made to protect loved ones, all within the context of pre-Civil War America. This book and author info information, and questions for discussion will be presented by Wendy S.
