Listen Later

Gary, Whitney, and Mira analyze another recently-published novel on the next episode of Writers Who Read. Next up: James by Percival Everett.

What if Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn were retold from the perspective of the slave Jim? American author Percival Everett takes up the challenge in this rollicking novel, at the same time shining a bright light on his country’s never-ending foibles. Of particular delight are Everett’s passages covering signifying and code switching.
