James by Percival Everett

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜† | Literary Fiction | Digital | Own | StoryGraph | Goodreads

An innovative retelling of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim. There are some brutal, hopeless sections of this book that gutted me.  There is some humor, but mostly this is a dark, dark book.  The ending of vengeance and violence doesn’t feel consistent with Jim’s character, but a man can take only so much.
