I'm listening to James, by Percival Everett (narrated by Dominic Hoffman). It's billed as a reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from Jim's point of view. But so far, it seems to be more of a reckoning than a reimagining. Most key elements from the original are still there, but where it diverges (for the better, I might add) is in the overall satirical humor, and the intelligence and the agency of the slave Jim.
