James by Percival Everett it is a reimagining of Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from the runaway slave Jim’s perspective. It basically follows the events of Twain’s story before diverging in the later half and is a startling good mix of funny and heart breaking and hopeful and horrifying. I absolutely loved it and if I read a better 2024 release I will be pleasantly surprised.
