James by Percival Everett
Monday, July 13, 6:00 pm
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, retold from the enslaved Jim’s point of view has become a both harrowing and ferociously funny story in Percival Everett’s new novel, James. While many narrative set pieces of Twain’s original novel remain in place, Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light. (In development as a feature film to be produced by Steven Spielberg.)

*Snacks are often served at or made during teen programs. If you have a food allergy please contact Youth Services in advance.
