#3031 From Erasure to James: Reading Percival Everett
Tuesday, October 14, 1:00pm - 3:00pm
The book James was the winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Percival Everett’s reimagining of Mark Twain’s
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is told from the perspective of the enslaved Jim. But who is Percival Everett and what does his
work say about race and identity in America? Focusing on two of Everett’s most notable novels, this session invites readers to
take a closer look at the author and his unique contributions to contemporary American fiction.
