James by Percival Everett

James by Percival Everett

Everett retells Huckleberry Finn from the point of view of Jim — except that Jim is literate, has read Voltaire, and performs the dialect white people expect because it is the only thing keeping him alive.

The device is devastating and also very funny: enslaved people teaching their children how to speak incorrectly on purpose, and switching to plain English the moment the door closes. Then the novel departs from Twain entirely, and the last third goes somewhere Twain would never have gone.

Winner of the National Book Award and one of the most acclaimed novels of the decade.
