”Re-imagining The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in James by Percival Everett,” aired February 8, 2025 during The Next Chapter’s new book club segment, with Antonio Michael Downing.

Aired February 8, 2025 on CBC Radio One, I, along with Antonio Michael Downing and JJ Lee, dive into Percival Everett's "James," a reimagining of "Huckleberry Finn" that addresses contemporary issues of race and identity. I discuss the cultural urgency of the narrative and how it reflects our current societal dynamics. I encourage you to consider how the book challenges traditional perspectives and invites us to confront our biases.
