Dear Friends:
I have been biting my tongue for a couple of weeks now reading the
discussion of Twain's use of "nigger." It is a significant issue, I think
most would agree, but it did seem to
go on a bit. I wonder if it wouldn't be refreshing to end the discussion by
looking at the matter from a radically different, though I hope both
edifying and amusing, perspective.
It comes in a chapter from a novel I am writing. In the chapter Sam, to
whom Huck plays alter ego, challenges Huck, as author of the "Adventures,"
on his excessive use of "nigger," triggering in Huck a typical Huck Finnian
response.
Please drop me (do we need a new idiom here?) an email if you would like to
see the chapter -- at
