Join us for a discussion of this month's book, James by Percival Everett. New members are always welcome! Copies of the book may be available at the Ask Desk.
Synopsis: When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, he ends up on a dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive Free States and beyond. A brilliant, action-packed reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from Jim's point of view, in which Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.
