Summary
Launched into existence by Mark Twain in 1835, Huck Finn and Jim have now been transported through three transformative centuries of American history. They witness the Civil War, the betrayal of promises to the freed slaves, the crushing of the Native Americans, and the electrification of America. Huck, who comes of age when he's washed ashore during Hurricane Katrina, narrates the story as an older man in 2077, revealing the past, present, and future as Mark Twain could never have dreamed it. The Boy in His Winter is a tour de force work of imagination, beauty, and courage that reenvisions a great American literary classic for our time.
