Percival Everett, author of "James," has arguably written the book of the year. Winner of the National Book Award, shortlisted for the Booker Prize and National Book Critic's Circle Award, "James" is also a finalist for the L.A. Book Prize in Fiction. Currently in development to become a feature film, this harrowing, darkly humorous novel reimagines the events of "Huckleberry Finn" through the eyes of the enslaved Jim, showing his agency, intelligence and compassion in a radically new light. Join us for an enlightening conversation between Percival Everett and Los Angeles author, journalist, and professor Héctor Tobar.
