 >Goodreads.com</a></strong></p>\n<p><em>A brilliant reimagining of&nbsp\;&
 nbsp\;</em><strong>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</strong><em>&mdash\;both
  harrowing and satirical&mdash\;told from the enslaved Jim's point of view
 .</em></p>\n<p><em>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 a
 way until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile\, Huck has faked his own deat
 h to escape his violent father. As all readers of American literature know
 \, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mis
 sissippi River toward the elusive and unreliable promise of the Free State
 s and beyond.</em></p>\n<p><em>Brimming with nuanced humor and lacerating 
 observations that have made Everett a literary icon\, this brilliant and t
 ender novel radically illuminates Jim's agency\, intelligence\, and compas
 sion as never before.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</em><strong>James</strong><em>&nbsp\; 
 is destined to be a major publishing event and a cornerstone of twenty-fir
 st-century American literature.</em></p>\n<p>-----------------------------
