☆ Book Club: Discuss ‘James,’ by Percival Everett, With Us
  + stars: | 2024-05-10 | by ( Mj Franklin | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Welcome to The Book Review Book Club. Every month, we select a book to discuss on our podcast and with our readers. In Everett’s latest book, “James,” Jim becomes, you guessed it, James. The broad strokes of Twain’s character are still there — James is still an enslaved man who runs away after he hears that his master is going to sell him. But in Everett’s hands, James is no longer a helpless companion.

GOOD MATERIAL, by Dolly AldertonAndy, the 35-year-old struggling comedian who narrates most of Dolly Alderton’s new novel, “Good Material,” has been freshly dumped by his ex, Jen, for mysterious reasons. Like Rob in Nick Hornby’s “High Fidelity,” an obvious inspiration, Andy knows his relationship had its problems. In the process, maybe he can get to the bottom of why the rest of his life has derailed, too. His friends won’t meet for impromptu drinks because they have to get up early to take care of their children. In “Good Material,” as in all of her writing, Alderton excels at portraying nonromantic intimate relationships with tenderness and authenticity.

Heather Havrilesky“I’m almost opposed to diplomacy in interpersonal relationships, at least in intimate relationships, because when people handle each other the way that countries handle each other, it feels transactional. It doesn’t feel like just showing up and showing yourself. Everything in my life that’s good has come from being extremely honest and direct. You say things that sometimes upset or scare people, and you hear things that maybe make you question yourself and force you to grow. A lot of people who don’t want honesty are more rigid, less direct, more fearful of deep connections.
