Event Details
You may have read James by Percival Everett, so now might be the time to read or reread Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This important novel, written in 1885, established American literature as representative of our own history, culture, and language. Join Connie Booth, a retired English teacher who has taught the novel to one hundred high school classes, while we study the story of Huck and Jim as they navigate the Mississippi River and pre-Civil War society. We will also consider current and past controversies and the relevance of the novel in today’s world.
