James by Percival Everett

From one of our greatest living writers, Percival Everett, comes James, a profound and ferociously funny novel that offers a brilliant retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the point of view of the enslaved Jim. This edition is the Main Market paperback release, featuring 320 pages of transcendent storytelling.

Set along the Mississippi River in 1861, the narrative follows Jim, who flees after overhearing he will be sold away from his family, and Huck Finn, who has faked his own death to escape his violent father. Their dangerous journey toward the free states forms an unlikely and life-changing odyssey.
