AMERIE'S BOOK CLUB September 2024 | James by Percival Everett
Показать описание
Follow @AmeriesBookClub on IG and watch my conversation with Percival Everett via Zoom at the end of the month!
Percival Everett reintroduces to the world James, also known as Jim, from Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. But JAMES isn’t simply a retelling from the enslaved man’s perspective; it is a comprehensive reimagining of the man, his family, the lives of the enslaved peoples around him, as well as the entire dynamic between the enslaved and their captors and the system that binds them. To read Everett’s JAMES is to see the classic tale—and history, itself—with a fresh lens.
