AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE KIRKUS PRIZE WINNER A brilliant, action-packed reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both harrowing and darkly humorous, told from the enslaved Jim’s point of view<\/p>\n

In development as a feature film to be produced by Steven Spielberg A Best Book of the Year of the Year so Far for 2024: The New York Times Book Review, TIME, Esquire, W Magazine, Bustle, LitHub<\/p>\n

“Genius”\u2014The Atlantic “A masterpiece that will help redefine one of the classics of American literature, while also being a major achievement on its own.”\u2014Chicago Tribune “A provocative, enlightening literary work of art.”\u2014The Boston Globe “Everett\u2019s most thrilling novel, but also his most soulful.”\u2014The New York Times<\/p>\n

When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all listeners of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond.<\/p>\n

While many narrative set pieces of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river\u2019s banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin\u2026), Jim\u2019s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.<\/p>\n

Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a \u201cliterary icon\u201d (Oprah Daily), and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime, James is destined to be a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature.<\/p>\n
