Percival Everett
James

“James revisits the plot of Mark Twain’s classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but from the point of view of Jim, the runaway slave, who shows himself here to be an educated man observing with lucidity the contradictions and injustices of 19th century American society. A book that is both a remarkable literary tour de force and a novel with immense evocative power.”
