SPOTLIGHT on May's selection

We have enjoyed 6 great books this season.  Join us for our 7th and final selection.:  "James" by Percival Everett.  James is a brilliant, action-packed reimagining of the Adventures of Huckelberry Finn told from Jim's point of view.  When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father.  As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond.

While many narrative set pieces of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place, Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.
