To all list-members who have replied to my question about 'Huck Finn's literary children' (a correspondent's phrase...), my thanks. You've helped me to make the kind of connections I was looking for and given me lots of reading to do as well... There haven't been too many replies connecting Huck Finn with recent work by African-American, Hispanic-American writers etc., or indeed with much written in the 80s or 90s. If anything more comes to mind here, I'd appreciate any further note. Cheers Pete M.
