New date for this month's book club

Banned Book Series: “James” by Percival Everett

The Banned Book Club is rescheduled for Thursday, September 25 at 11:30am with the book entitled “James” from one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime Percival Everett.  “James” reimagines the famous narrative of  “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” but told from the enslaved Jim’s point of view.

“While many narrative set pieces of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river’s banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin…), Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.” (from the Amazon description).
