James (Pulitzer Prize Winner): A Novel

James is a bold, action-filled reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, told from the enslaved Jim’s perspective.

When Jim learns he’s about to be sold and separated from his family, he flees to Jackson Island to plan his escape. There, he meets Huck Finn, who has faked his own death to escape his abusive father. Together, they journey down the Mississippi River in search of freedom, encountering danger, deceit, and unexpected humanity along the way.

Retaining key moments from Twain’s classic, James redefines the story with sharp wit, deep compassion, and powerful insight into race, freedom, and survival—showing Jim not just as a side character, but as the true heart of this timeless American tale.
