Tuesday Night Book Club: James

Join us for a discussion of James by acclaimed author Percival Everett. In this reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, we follow Jim, an enslaved man who overhears he’s about to be sold away from his family and escapes to Jackson Island. Meanwhile, Huck Finn, fleeing his abusive father, embarks on a dangerous journey down the Mississippi River. As they face floods, storms, and scam artists, Jim’s intelligence, compassion, and agency are shown in a new light, offering a fresh perspective on this classic tale. Copies are available at the front desk, and new members are always welcome!
