SUMMARY:Book Club
LOCATION:Carol S.’s home\, Newmans Park 13\, 22609 Hamburg
DESCRIPTION:This month we will be reading\nJames by Percival Everett\n                 
                                               \n \nJames is a retelling of 
 Mark Twain’s 1884 novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. "It takes a lot of 
 ambition, skill, and vision to reinvent one of the most iconic books in Ame
 rican letters, but Everett demonstrates he possesses those virtues in spade
 s in James. The novel is a radical reworking of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fi
 nn, telling the story not from Huck’s perspective, but from the point of vi
 ew of the enslaved man who accompanies Huck down the Mississippi River: Jim
  (or, as he clarifies, James). From James’s eyes, we see he is no mere side
 kick but rather a thinker and a writer who is code-switching as illiterate 
 and fighting desperately for freedom. Everett’s novel is a literary hat tri
 ck — a book that highlights the horrors in American history and complicates
  an American classic, all while also emerging as a work of exquisite origin
 ality in its own right." (New York Times, 10 Best Books 2024)\nKnopf Double
 day, published 2024, 303 pages\nWe hope you can join us to discuss this win
 ner of the 2024 National Book Award.\n
