James by Percival Everett
This is another book that was one of the most anticipated of the year for many publications, and it’s getting buzz just about everywhere that discusses books. Not only is this retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from Jim’s perspective fascinating in its own right, it also comes on the heels of the Oscar award for best adapted screenplay going to American Fiction, adapted from Everett’s 2011 novel Erasure. It’s a New York Times bestseller, but it seems to still be climbing the Amazon ranks: it went from 28 to 12, a 133% increase.
