James

I finished reading James by Percival Everett recently. It is a reimagining of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the point of view of Jim, the escaping slave that Huck befriends along his journey. The spin this puts on it is fantastic, although I wish I had re-read the original first so all of the crossovers and callbacks would have hit more fully.
