Greetings. 

 

This is my first post. I've enjoyed the few I've read so far and am looking
forward to reading more. Recently I was displaced by a debris flow, in
Montecito, California. My home of some decades had been build beside a
creek. The ground floor and environs were swept away. The second story was
severed from the rest and floated downstream into the arms of an ancient
oak. It housed my library. In grad school I had read my share of books by
and about Twain. None of them were at all affected by the flow. 

 

My thesis was on Huck Finn and Life on the Mississippi. A kind of
Huck-meets-Julia-Kristeva book. French feminism applied to Twain? Well, I
didn't know of anyone else who had attempted it. As a surfer, I have long
been fascinated with muscled waters. 

 

Having read some of the posts, I've learned that I am not the Twain scholar
that many of you are. If my thesis inspires any of you to view Huck & Life
in a new way, I will be happy. 

 

My thesis is available on Kindle. I welcome any an all comments.
