What happens when the supporting character becomes the protagonist? When the silenced voice finally speaks? Percival Everett's "James" answers these questions by reimagining Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" from the perspective of Jim-or rather, James-the enslaved man who was originally relegated to a secondary role. This powerful reimagining has captivated readers across generations, from Oprah Winfrey to Barack Obama, by challenging our understanding of a beloved American classic. The brilliance of this novel lies not just in its literary craftsmanship but in how it reclaims narrative agency for a character who was originally written as merely a companion in someone else's adventure. Through James's eyes, we see a radically different journey down the Mississippi-one that forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about America's past and the stories we choose to tell about it.
