When Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he runs away until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck has faked his own death to escape his violent father. As all readers of American literature know, this begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and unreliable promise of the Free States and Beyond. Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observation that have made Everett a literary icon, this brilliant and tender novel radically illuminates Jim’s agency, intelligence, and compassion as never before. “James” is destined to be a major publishing event and a cornerstone of twenty-first-century American literature.
