James - A Novel with Percival Everett

An action-packed, harrowing, and funny reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, this brilliant new novel is told from the enslaved Jim’s point of view. A New York Times bestseller from the “literary icon” (Oprah Daily) and Pulitzer Prize Finalist Percival Everett, Jim’s agency, intelligence, and compassion are shown in a radically new light. Percival will be joined in conversation with journalist and political commentator Michael Harriot.
