Huckleberry Jim x Blackstone Audiobook Introduction

9/22/2026

 
When Huckleberry Jim arrives in audiobook from Blackstone Publishing on October 6, listeners will hear something unusual before three-time Audie Award recipient and ten-time AudioFile Magazine Earphones Award recipient Leon Nixon begins the novel.

Author Adam Nelson opens the audiobook himself.

It is a remarkable few minutes: the true story of a young actor, a thirty-dollar-a-day job, a two-man production of Huckleberry Finn, and a journey across America that would take thirty-five years to become a novel.
This is the complete Blackstone introduction.

The road before Huckleberry Jim.

And the first few miles of what comes next.

HUCKLEBERRY JIM publishes October 6 during Banned Books Week, in America’s 250th year, and on the 150th anniversary of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Publishers Weekly BookLife Editor’s Pick: “Adam Nelson’s incisive, provocative, and robustly American debut... honors the fathoms-deep American divisions that Twain marked and urges us to look closer rather than away. For readers of Percival Everett’s James and Paul Beatty’s The Sellout.”
