Program Description

Event Details

Let's talk books!
The enslaved Jim still hides out on Jackson Island when he overhears news that he's to be sold and separated from his family, and Huck Finn still encounters him while running away from an abusive father and faking his own death. However, novelist Percival Everett's re-envisioning of Mark Twain's classic story presents Jim in a whole new light. (Extra credit if you re-read Huckleberry Finn as well as this inspired re-telling!).
