The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Young Huckleberry Finn is an industrious and independent boy who escapes his abusive, drunken father and sets out on an unforgettable journey down the Mississippi River. Enjoying his freedom, he befriends a kind runaway slave named Jim, whose suffering teaches Huck powerful lessons about racism, personal liberty and the complexities of life.
Join us for a discussion of this classic, to be followed next month with a discussion of James by Percival Everett, which tells the same story, from Jim's point of view.
