  • Description

    In this masterful debut by a major new voice in fiction, Jon Clinch takes us on a journey into the history and heart of one of American literature?s most brutal and mysterious figures: Huckleberry Finn?s father. Jon Clinch?s first novel has done it: sucked me under like I was a rag doll thrown into the wake of a Mississippi steamboat?Jon Clinch has turned in a nearly perfect first book, a creative response that matches The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in intensity and tenacious soul-searching about racism. Clinch creates a folk-art masterpiece that will delight, beguile and entertain as it does justice to its predecessor?In Finn, Clinch expands the bloodlines and scope of the original story and casts new light on the troubled legacy of our country?s infamous past.? ?new york post ?In Clinch?s retelling, Pap Finn comes vibrantly to life as a complex, mysterious, strangely likable figure?Clinch includes many sharply realized, sometimes harrowing, even gruesome scenes?Finn should appeal not only to scholars of 19th century literature but to anyone who cares to sample a forceful debut novel inspired by a now-mythic American story.? ?hartford courant ?Jon Clinch pulls off the near impossible in his new novel, Finn, which brings Huck’s dad to life in all his terrible humanness?Clinch vividly paints the origins of the amazing Huck…powerfully told.? ?men?s journal ?Inventing Huckleberry Finn?s father using only the thin scraps of information that Mark Twain provided is a pretty admirable feat, and reading Jon Clinch?s first novel provides an almost tactile pleasure?Clinch clearly respects Twain, but he doesn?t feel especially cowed by his inspiration, and some of his inventions qualify as genuine improvements on the original text.?
