| Video Discription | The work of Percival Everett landed in the spotlight when his novel "Erasure" hit the big screen in the movie adaptation "American Fiction." A biting satire of racial stereotypes in the literary world, "American Fiction" took home the Oscar for best adapted screenplay. Hard on the heels of its success, Everett is back with a new book, this time taking a deeper look at literature itself. "James" is a reimagining of "Huckleberry Finn," usurping Mark Twain’s protagonist to put Jim, Huck’s enslaved sidekick, front and center. Everett joins the show to discuss how he gave the iconic character a powerful new voice.
