I'm sold. I love your essay on this. The parts about the high school kids who could not understand how white people in Huck and Jim's world could not truly fathom the beliefs Huck was steeped in and the life Jim lived. I very much enjoy Percival Everett's work, and I had already read about this one. You've made my reading more urgent. Thanks, Barb.
THE TREES totally blew my mind!
In the middle of THE TREES now. JAMES next.
The Trees TOTALLY blew my mind!
I"m a big Percival Everett fan. The Trees was one of the best things I've read in the last couple of years.
Jeepers! Thanks! It really is quite amazing.
wow! I wasn't going to read this but now I will.
Barb, you are SO an influencer of the highest order.
