LITERARY FICTION

James

by Percival Everett · 2024

★★★★½ 4.5/5 · ALLO'S PICK
A reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from Jim's perspective — the enslaved man given the interiority and intelligence Twain denied him. Everett takes a canonical American novel and writes something wholly new.
Allo's take
Pulitzer 2024. Everett restores the intelligence the original denied its Black protagonist. One of the most technically accomplished novels in recent memory.
