Shortlist of the Booker Prize 2024 Pulitzer Prize winner 2025 "James" — a brilliant, action-filled reimagining of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn": enchanting, funny, tragic, sometimes dreadful — and, moreover, told in the voice of the slave Jim. When Jim learns that he is to be sold to a new master in New Orleans, forever separated from his wife and daughter, he decides to hide on Jackson Island on the Mississippi until he can devise an escape plan with his family. Meanwhile, Huck Finn fakes his own death to escape from his cruel father, who recently returned to town. All this is familiar to readers of Mark Twain, and it is from here that the heroes’ extremely dangerous journey on a raft down the Mississippi River to the states free from slavery begins. Many elements of the plot of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" are preserved here, but Jim’s inner freedom, intellect, and capacity for empathy are shown in a radically new light, with brilliant humor, depth, and true drama. This novel has become a real event in the USA and is already considered one of the best books in American literature of the twenty-first century.
