James By Percival Everett Doubleday: 320 pages, $28 Whether or not you’ve seen “American Fiction,” the new film for which Jeffrey Wright received an Oscar nomination, or read the book from which it’s adapted — Percival Everett’s “Erasure” — once you’ve picked up Everett’s “James,” a retelling of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” you’ll know that only Everett could take on the task of allowing Mark Twain’s character Jim to show what was missing from the original story. Wandering Stars By Tommy Orange Knopf: 336 pages, $29 Orange’s 2018 “There There” introduced readers to the Bear Shield-Red Feather family of Oakland. By Judith Butler FSG: 320 pages, $30 When renowned scholar Judith Butler published their book “Gender Trouble” in 1990, the constructs around identity looked quite different than they do today — and Butler saw through them all. Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash From 1600 to the Present By Fareed Zakaria W. W. Norton: 400 pages, $30 While CNN anchor Zakaria’s book begins with 17th century Holland, readers should keep in mind that the various revolutions covered lead us now to a place smack in the middle of four revolutions: globalization, technology, identity and geopolitics.
