Duke Common Experience Book Club featuring “James” by Percival Everett

Join fellow Duke alumni to discuss Duke's Common Experience summer reading book for 2025, James by Percival Everett.



James, by Percival Everett, has been selected as the Duke Common Experience reading for the summer of 2025. James retells Mark Twain’s American classic, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, from Jim’s perspective. Filled with humor and satire, James offers the world a chance to hear from the beloved and often overlooked character. Everett’s novel has quickly become a modern classic, for which he has received the National Book Award in 2024 and the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
