@cbssundaymorning: With humor and unflinching truth-telling, Percival Everett’s “James” reimagines “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man at the story’s heart. Everett uses language as both a weapon and a shield—his characters slip between dialects as a means of survival, resistance and self-definition. Everett’s book has been awarded the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. #award #book #pultizer #fiction
James is dope, but The Trees is my favorite of his. And James ain't a retelling of Huck Finn, it's James' story, Huck is a just a side character in it.

context context context with any word, plus the permission one gives the speaker to "attack" them with words. always says more about who is given control.

James is not a “retelling of Huck Finn” though. It’s Jim’s story. It’s amazing and worthy of all the awards. Totally should have won the Booker Prize.
