Welcome to todayโs book review and spoiler free them discussion! Iโm Katja, and in this video, we're exploring "James" by Percival Everett, a novel that reimagines Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" from the perspective of Jim (James), the runaway slave. Join me as we explore how Everett adds new layers to this iconic story, discussing themes of identity, language, and survival.
