This powerful novel gives voice to Jim, the enslaved man from *Adventures of Huckleberry Finn*, who flees toward freedom after overhearing he's to be sold south. As Jim embarks on a perilous journey down the Mississippi, a young Huck fakes his own death and joins him. Percival Everett masterfully reframes this iconic American tale, revealing Jim’s profound intelligence, resilience, and humanity in a story that is by turns harrowing, humorous, and deeply moving.
