Join our virtual community to connect with fellow UNB alumni, faculty and staff as we read and discuss various book genres such as lifelong learning, personal growth, novels and other topics. Participation is free!
There are three main reasons we hope you'll be excited to participate in our book club:
A brilliant reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn—both harrowing and ferociously funny—told from the enslaved Jim's point of view.
A note about the author:
In an interview with NPR, Percival Everett speaks on his authorial intent: "My writing James is not in any way an indictment of Twain at all... I'm writing the novel that Twain was – not ill-equipped – but unequipped to write. That being the story of Jim. So I consider this more as being in discourse with Twain."
