Rocky Bluff Book Club: James, by Percival Everett
This meeting will take place near the Young Adult area.
Join us each month for a lively and welcoming book discussion featuring a new title every time. Whether you’ve read the book cover to cover or just want to listen in, you’re sure to enjoy the conversation, share ideas, and discover new reads to add to your list. All are welcome—come for the discussion, stay for the great company!
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.
