    A Modern Masterpiece: JAMES by Percival Everett
    Apr 28 2026
    This week, we're sharing a recent episode of Zero to Well-Read that dives deep into James by Percival Everett. This award-winning modern classic reimagines Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the point of view of Jim, the escaped enslaved man who accompanies Huck down the river in the original tale. James is out now in paperback after a two-year hardcover run, and is absolutely worth the read.
