 James

by Percival Everett

PenguinRandomHouse


    Everything you've heard about this amazing novel is an understatement.  This is more than you can imagine. Fear, adventure, love and warmth, which don't try to mitigate the horrors of slavery in this retelling of Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. 

    This should be required reading for everyone.
