The Boy in His Winter: An American Novel
Norman Lock, Grover Gardner (Reading)
I read Huckleberry Finn in a Hardcover First Edition loaned me by a friend of my Mother's. Imagine what that book is worth today.
This author imagines an aging Huck reminiscing about his days floating down the Mississippi on a Raft with Jim. This is not a book for children.
As narrator Huck switches between reminiscence and his present day adventures set in the 2070ies. Leaves one wandering, have we made all that much progress after all these years.
The author has Huck refer to Mark Twain's book on several time but none so ironic as when Huck is asked if he's read the book.
