Try "Was Huck Black?" (or similar title, I don't exactly recall) by Shelly Fisher-Fishkin, one of her recent essays on Twain. And there are a number of books on why HF was banned (for its "bad grammar", not its "racist" quality, as once put forth on this list) and subsequent essays. There's also a book of a collection of essays on HF that includes a chapter that is a transcript of a _Nightline_ broadcast concerning HF's banning. It's interesting reading. I'll try to conjure up the name.......Enjoy HF! Beth
