James by Percival Everett

A retelling, or perhaps a reimagining rather, of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man that joins Huck for a portion of his adventure.

I really enjoyed this. The book is well-written, and James in particular, is an agonisingly well-drawn character. The final lines gave me the good kind of chills. Read it, it’s very good. ★★★★☆
