ABOUT “JAMES” 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER• NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • KIRKUS PRIZE WINNER • A brilliant, action-packed reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both harrowing and darkly humorous, told from the enslaved Jim's point of view In development as a feature film to be produced by Steven Spielberg • A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times Book Review, LA Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Economist, TIME, and more. "Genius"—The Atlantic • "A masterpiece that will help redefine one of the classics of American literature, while also being a major achievement on its own."—Chicago Tribune • "A provocative, enlightening literary work of art."—The Boston Globe • "Everett’s most thrilling novel, but also his most soulful."—The New York Times 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, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. While many narrative set pieces of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river’s banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin…), Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light. Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a “literary icon” (Oprah Daily), and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime, James is destined to be a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/raytown/winter-book-club-meet-up-on-james-by-percival-everett/200027740384339 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, trips-adventures, entertainment, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 24 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: http://facebook.com/200027740384339?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=raytown-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Raytown - **state**: MO - **country**: United States - **location**: Trailhead Books - **lat**: 39.010500942256 - **long**: -94.462501525879 - **full address**: Trailhead Books, 10009 E 63rd Street,Raytown, Missouri, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Trailhead Books (https://allevents.in/org/trailhead-books/23758064) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/019ee9388d7cf2adff8b309a661bcd2281e2f6bc7bc3b05ce798a8909c596995-rimg-w1200-h675-dc393335-gmir?v=1738987271 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/2f45765a1379f66d35189b68e5c1b70dc43e597742b2081126298c0eef36955e-rimg-w300-h300-dc383234-gmir?v=1738987272 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 13 Feb, 2025 at 06:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Trailhead Books, 10009 E 63rd Street,Raytown, Missouri, United States - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Trailhead Books - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art, trips-adventures, entertainment, meetups - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Winter Book Club Meet Up on “James” by Percival Everett ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Winter Book Club Meet Up on “James” by Percival Everett", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/019ee9388d7cf2adff8b309a661bcd2281e2f6bc7bc3b05ce798a8909c596995-rimg-w1200-h675-dc393335-gmir?v=1738987271", "startDate": "2025-02-13", "url": "https://allevents.in/raytown/winter-book-club-meet-up-on-james-by-percival-everett/200027740384339", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Trailhead Books", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "10009 E 63rd Street,Raytown, Missouri", "addressLocality": "Raytown", "addressRegion": "MO", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "39.010500942256", "longitude": "-94.462501525879" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join friends and neighbors for a book club meeting on one of 2024’s most loved titles!\nThis is a chance to meet other readers in town and discuss an amazing, thought-provoking piece of literature. \n\nIf you don’t have a copy of “James” just yet, you can order from Trailhead for 20% off and receive yo", "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Trailhead Books", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/trailhead-books/23758064" } ] } ] ```
