James by Percival Everett

When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, who recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down by the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. Fans of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will enjoy reading this thought-provoking take on a well-known story.
