James
In Percival Everett's 2024 novel James, Jim, an enslaved man on the run, navigates a dangerous world, accompanied by a boy named Huckleberry. This reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is both harrowing and darkly humorous, told from the enslaved Jim's point of view.
"A masterpiece that will help redefine one of the classics of American literature, while also being a major achievement on its own." —Chicago Tribune
Book Club
Join other curious readers and dive headfirst into contemporary literary fiction. With selections that range from national bestsellers to experimental novels, Book Club explores a diverse array of literary genres and styles. Discussions are held in the cozy Hanes House library and led by NCMA W-S Executive Director Bill Carpenter.
Book Club is open to the public — even to those who don't finish the books! The guided conversations cover a range of topics, from themes and imagery to plot structures and character development. If you are looking to flex your critical muscles in a welcoming and generous space, Book Club is for you.
