Le mot de POP LIVRE

L'odyssée de Huckleberry Finn racontée par Jim, l'homme réduit en esclavage qui l'accompagne — avec son vrai nom, sa lecture cachée et sa voix intérieure. Pour qui aime qu'un classique soit retourné plutôt que révéré. Prix Pulitzer.

Présentation

Everyone knows Huckleberry Finn's adventures down the Mississippi. Nobody had heard them from Jim — the enslaved man who runs alongside him. Percival Everett gives Jim his true name, James, his secret literacy and his razor-sharp inner voice, turning Twain's classic inside out: the river odyssey becomes a thriller of survival, performance and self-invention, by turns terrifying and bitingly funny. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2025, the National Book Award 2024 and the Kirkus Prize, James has become an instant modern classic — the rare literary phenomenon that is also impossible to put down.
