Description

James is a profound and ferociously funny novel from Percival Everett, one of our greatest living writers. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the story follows Jim, a man who flees his enslavement and embarks on a perilous journey along the Mississippi River.

Alongside Jim, Huck Finn, a young man with a troubled past, navigates the treacherous waters of the river, each bend holding the promise of both salvation and demise. As they journey towards the elusive promise of the free states, they must confront the harsh realities of their world.

This powerful and humorous novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of the human experience. With its unique blend of action, adventure, and literary depth, James is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
