Percival Everett's JAMES reworks and reimagines the story of Huckleberry Finn by telling it from the perspective of the escaped slave Jim, giving him depth and identity beyond anything Twain considered. My review of this year's National Book Award winner: https://bit.ly/4ifF8jJ

The current climate can lead to nihilism, but knowing Everett is out there making beautiful art helps us remember that it's worth fighting for what REALLY makes America great.
