Percival Everett, the author of 'James,' Shared His Thoughts About 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' in a 2024 Interview
In a 2024 interview with PBS NewsHour, Percival Everett, author of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction winner James, an Adventures of Huckleberry Finn retelling, shared his thoughts about Hemingway's belief that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain, called Huckleberry Finn."
"That's a pretty remarkable novel. And it's pretty remarkable for its time when you view it in that way. In that way, Hemingway is right," said Everett in the 2024 interview.
"I'm perhaps writing the novel that he was not equipped to write. And nor, would he even imagine it because his character is Huck Finn. It's Huck's novel. But he could not occupy the psychic and cultural space that was occupied by Jim," said Everett.
"That landscape was not wandered alone by Huck. That there was another agent there, someone with agency, experiencing his role in a very different way," said Everett during the PBS NewsHour interview. "That wide-eyed, innocent America wandering through that landscape is certainly attractive and youthful and promising, but he's wandering through there with a victim who has built it for him."
