My LINKcat AccountRead the book, share your thoughts, and connect with others at our upcoming library discussion! Guest facilitators Amy Jambor and Brittany Brazzel will lead a thoughtful conversation on James by Percival Everett.
In James, Percival Everett retells Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim, an enslaved man who runs away to avoid being sold and separated from his family. As Jim and Huck journey down the Mississippi River, familiar events unfold—but this time, Jim's strength, intelligence, and compassion take center stage. With sharp humor and powerful insight, Everett gives new life to a classic story, making James a standout work of modern American literature.
Whether you’ve already finished the book or still need to start, we invite you to join this community discussion on Tuesday, November 4th.
Because of the book’s popularity, we kindly ask that patrons return James promptly after reading so others can enjoy it before the program. Attendees at the discussion will also be entered into a drawing for a chance to keep a copy of the book following our Go Big Read event!
