Adventures of Huckleberry Finn&nbsp;is a novel about escape: from slavery, from abusive family life, and from an oppressive culture. It is a work of comic satire, and a critique of a warped society that allows some people to enslave others. Shortly after its publication, the book was proclaimed a classic. However, critics often suggest that Twain’s failure of nerve&nbsp;in the final ten chapters&nbsp;keeps the work from developing its most crucial theme and being the great American novel it might have been. Jerry Leitner examines what is right and wrong with Mark Twain’s most familiar and significant writing.&nbsp;NSSC Members $15/ Non-Members $20
