Original music inspired by Percival Everett’s James

In James, Percival Everett takes a red pen to the American literary canon—and sets it on fire. Jim, now James, gets the narrative he was denied in Twain’s classic, revealing a mind as sharp as the satire and a heart as big as the Mississippi. Slavery, subversion, and a whole lot of side-eye—this is the remix Huck never saw coming.

“A masterpiece that will help redefine one of the classics of American literature, while also being a major achievement on its own.”—Chicago Tribune

“A provocative, enlightening literary work of art.”—The Boston Globe

Heads up: James contains explicit references to racism, use of racial epithets, sexual violence, anti-Black brutality, and the historical realities of enslavement. (Book Trigger Warnings)

Musical Performances from: Del Rey, Reggie Garrett, Vince Martinez, Amy Laybourn, Havilah Rand, Cyd Smith, Chris Poage, Nessa Grasing, and Amber Flame.
