Our 11th Anniversary Celebration — Discussing James, by Percivall Everett

Huckleberry Finn: From the Perspective of Jim James by Percival Everett Join us for a powerful literary evening as Al Jalees celebrates 11 years of cultural events with a bold reimagining of an American classic. In James, Percival Everett retells The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn through the voice of Jim, the enslaved man whose story was never fully heard. This remarkable novel gives Jim agency, depth, and intelligence, transforming a familiar tale into a sharp exploration of freedom, identity, dignity, and what it truly means to be human. Together, we’ll unpack its themes, characters, and cultural significance — and reflect on how storytelling reshapes history. This special anniversary discussion is part of our continued commitment to creating meaningful, thought-provoking cultural gatherings in Riyadh. 📚 Book: James by Percival Everett 📍 Location: Huna Al Takhassusi, Riyadh 🗓 Date: Wednesday, December 10 ⏰ Time: 7:00 – 9:30 PM 🎟 Reserve your ticket via our website and be part of the celebration.
