Book 29. James. Suggested by the librarian after I returned "Big Jim and the White Boy" This is another Jim-centered reimagining of Huck Finn. My enjoyment of this was only marred by thinking "What is wrong with me that I haven't read anything by Percival Everett before?" Really well-told, a mixture of his relationship with Huck but also the US's relationship to slavery and enslaved people just before the Civil War. Hard to read in parts, as you would expect; more humor than you might expect.
