Ride with us down the Mississippi as we speak with the award winning duo of David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson about 1993's The Adventure of Huck Finn and more importantly their new graphic novel reimagining of Mark Twain's classic, Big Jim and The White Boy. 

That's right, their new book shifts the perspective to Jim and gives more context to his life and story, literally what we talk about on the podcast each episode. We discuss the Disneyfication of slavery, how their new book fills in Jim's story, and so much more!

You can buy Big Jim and The White Boy wherever books are sold! Preorder now or go to the store on October 15th and grab a copy! Maybe even check out one of these Black bookstores!

You can find more of David's excellent work (like the incredible Bitter Root) at his website. Same for Marcus

If you like to reach out to us, as always we're at @white_pod on Twitter and at @whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod on IG and Tiktok. Or hit us up at whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod@gmail.com 

And we'll be back with more in two weeks, including some Halloween themed episodes!
