A darkly funny 1991 road novel about two actors touring a stripped-down Huckleberry Finn through a hostile America - publishing during Banned Books Week, in the year of America?s Semiquincentennial, and the 150th anniversary of Tom Sawyer.
Axel Emerson isn?t chasing a dream - he?s running from a body. After the sudden death of his estranged father, and the detective?s calls that follow, a washed-up casting agent offers him an exit: tour the schools as Huck Finn in a stripped-down, two-man stage version of the American classic. It?s 1991, and the country is cracking open.
His co-star is Moses Morton, a fifty-five-year-old Black actor cast as Jim - and from the first moment, Moses sees straight through him. Their road trip through hostile American towns becomes a crash course in race, history, and performative ignorance, recited from lines a white man wrote in 1884 about a country that hasn?t changed as much as it thinks. When performance and reality finally collide, there?s no script left to hide behind.
A Publishers Weekly Booklife Editors Pick, Huckleberry Jim is a reckoning with race, guilt, and the bedtime stories America tells itself to sleep at night. For readers of Percival Everett?s James and Paul Beatty?s The Sellout.
