James A Novel

Same author, different gear — a pitch-black satirical thriller about racial violence in America. Readers who liked James's moral urgency will feel it here at full throttle.

Both retell a canonical 19th-century novel through a marginalized protagonist to expose what the original obscured. Kingsolver does for Appalachian poverty what Everett does for slavery.

For readers drawn to James's formal experimentation and philosophy over plot — Flights is a Nobel laureate's fragmented, essayistic meditation on bodies, freedom, and movement.
