You're Invited to a UMGC Europe book club discussion.
UMGC Europe Book Club Presents: James - Author: Percival Everett
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND THE BOOKER PRIZE • KIRKUS PRIZE WINNER - James explores the story of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim, Finn’s enslaved companion.
Giving an authentic voice to individuals rarely represented during that time, James shares with the readers an experience that explores enslaved people's humanity, intelligence, courage, and dignity. Told with the humorous style of Mark Twain’s original Huckleberry Finn, Everett’s story provides new insights into one of America’s most beloved classics.
We look forward to seeing you for our African American History Month discussion!
