This retelling of Huckleberry Finn reimagines key parts of the story from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man who travels with Huck, and builds out Jim’s entire world. It’s a beautiful, heartbreaking, emotional, thought-provoking story that highlights the inconsistent, irrational, violent nature of white supremacy and slavery.
