James by Percival Everett, Read by Dominic Hoffman

This book has garnered rave reviews from everywhere since its release, including being shortlisted for the 2024 National Book Award and Booker Prize. The audiobook edition amps up the accolades because it is an extraordinary listening experience.

In this reimagining of the American classic, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, actor Dominic Hoffman sounds exactly like you think Huck’s companion, James (not Jim) should sound, even though you probably never thought about that before now. Hoffman doesn’t just read or even perform Percival Everett’s words—he becomes them. As this novel becomes a “classic” itself, which it surely will, so, too, should Hoffman’s narration.
