Loved it. Although I’m familiar with story of Huck Finn, I haven’t read the original. However, felt I knew enough to be able to understand and enjoy Everett’s take on this classic of American literature. The themes explored had extra resonance, given the current state of American politics and culture. Highly recommended.
