The best way to appreciate Percival Everett’s “James” (2024) is to first read (or re-read) the Great American Novel that inspired it—Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn” (1880).
I thought James was good. Surprisingly I had never read the Twain version which I am reading now. Finally getting around to reading Huckleberry Finn. I read Tom Sawyer when I was six years old and I still have the copy I read then on my bookshelf. Classic as is HF.
