Summary: A ribald Huck Finn for the 'crikits'
Comment: Seelye's tongue-in-cheek rewriting of Twain's classic is a joy to read, in no small part because his Huck as engaging as Twain's. Seelye's project is largely critical discourse--as Huck's introduction to this edition makes clear--but of the best sort. In allowing "the real Huck" to write his own book, Seelye compels us to see the beauty of Twain's. Seelye's Huck cusses and fantasizes in ways that seem natural to readers today but that would have shocked readers in Twain's day. But if his characters are more realistic than Twain's, we see in Seelye's ending just why Twain was compelled to compose such a frustrating close for his novel. A book for all fans of Twain, or Huck. See Seelye's _The Kid_ for a different take on similar themes, Huck Finn and Jim in the Territory.
