À propos de cet audio

A brilliant, action-packed reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both harrowing and ferociously funny, told from the enslaved Jim's point of view.

From the “literary icon” (Oprah Daily), Pulitzer Prize Finalist, and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime


When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond.

While many narrative set pieces of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river’s banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin…), Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.

Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a “literary icon” (Oprah Daily), and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime, James is destined to be a major publishing event and a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature.

Loved it! Hope there is a sequel.
History is very disturbing. I sincerely hope we all learn from the past

Beautifully performed and written

I dont know the original story well, but I like that Jim (James) a minor character in the original is now the main character here. James' perspective on the harsh, unjust, and brutal world he lives in is very hard to hear about, but that is why it is important. At times it is definitely hard to believe that people lived like this. My only minor issue is that I found some of the thinking to be a bit more modern than I would expect for the time. The flow of the dialogue (not the content) is notably good as well and overall the narration is really great.
definitely worth the time and credit for this one.

This is the best book I’ve read this year. He took you away to those days of slavery and put you right into the story. Reality at its best. Let’s never go back.

The entire book was revelatory, telling an old story from the perspective of the escaped slave Jim who accompanies Huckleberry Finn on his journey on the Mississippi River, but often gets separated from Huckleberry and has his own experiences. Best of all, he explains his experiences and his feelings at every moment, and how the life of a Black man was utterly different from that of a white person in the same place and time. A brilliant, profound and important work.
