Large Meeting RoomJoin us for a discussion of James by Percival Everett.
A bold and inventive retelling of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man at the heart of the original story. Blending sharp wit, suspense, and powerful social commentary, Everett reimagines a familiar literary journey while giving voice, agency, and depth to a character long denied center stage. Whether you've read Twain's classic, are new to the story, or simply enjoy thought-provoking contemporary fiction, this conversation offers an opportunity to explore themes of freedom, identity, language, and the power of storytelling. Come share your insights, hear diverse perspectives, and discover why James has become one of the most talked-about novels of recent years. Registration is required.
