Everett channeled Mark Twain when crafting the companion/new perspective to Huck Finn. You're back on the Mississippi, on that raft, but fleeing for your life. Twists/corrections/reality made #James perfect.

the whole time that Jim is an imprisoned slave he is a free man.

That doesn’t mean that Jim was only free when he was at the Phelps farm...

“With my pencil, I wrote myself into being,” writes #PercivalEverett. This is the re-imagined tale of #HuckFinn through Jim’s elevated voice. “We could be angry with one another; we were human. But the real source of our rage had to go without address,swallowed,repressed.”

Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn
Stoll & Edwards Co., 1925

A collection of the comic strip by Dwig (Clare Victor Dwiggins), featuring characters from Mark Twain's novels, but not an adaptation of either.

I heartily endorse this #zombie 🧟‍♀️ #YA novel. Don't let the quiet opening fool you. All hell breaks loose in a youth treatment facility, and soon #WalkingDead mixed with #GirlInterrupted and #Dexter breaks out and drifts down the Mississippi like #HuckFinn

Currently reading #HuckFinn for the first time since high school. Huck's internal battle between doing what he has been told is "right," and what he feels in his heart to be right, is just as relatable today, and sadly probably always will be.

"Belief has nothin' to do with truth." - James (Percival Everett, 2024)

I am absolutely adoring this incredible response to the American classic, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." So many deep questions explored. I am so glad to read it! #HuckFinn #James #MarkTwain #PercivalEverett #River #Booksky

Ich lese #HuckFinn erstmals auf englisch und die Szene, in der Tom Sawyer die Befreiung von Jim entlang literarischer Vorbilder verkompliziert, ist einfach großartig. (Das restliche Buch auch, eh klar. Adäquat bersetzbar ist es nicht.)

I’m glad I only pretended to read #HuckFinn in middle school because I am reading #James prior to experiencing the original text to see the effect it has on my interpretation of that source material.

I do my best reading when I get my hair done. Usually because without being tied to a chair, the kids or dog or hubby or remembering bills gets in the way and then I get too tired and need something mind numbing. But I can tell I am going to finish this in a day. #James #huckfinn

Officially done ✅

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved the transformation from “Jim” to “James” while emphasizing the power of literacy.

Very fascinating use of wordplay James uses. “Give the white people what they want,” to create a smokescreen.

The cover of a copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. It shows a boy in a straw hat and loose fitting brown clothes, seated on some thin whitish logs, seemingly at the edge of a riverbank although no water is visible. He holds aloft a stick with a small scrap of red fabric on it. Behind him is a grassy field and a blue sky scudded with thin white clouds.

Current reading, in preparation to enjoy James by Percival Everett. But damn, it has been awhile since I read Twain and I forgot how excellent his prose is. #MarkTwain #HuckFinn #TheAdventuresOfHuckleberryFinn #JamesByPercivalEverett #Reading
