<div>On this week’s Book Club podcast I’m joined by Percival Everett, who has followed up his Booker-shortlisted <em>The Trees</em> with <em>James</em>, a novel that reimagines the story of <em>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em> from the point of view of the fugitive slave Jim. Percival tells me what he learned from Mark Twain, how being funny doesn’t make him a comic novelist, and why Black resistance to racism is a matter of language itself.</div>
