"In 1970 John Seelye took the audacious step of revising Mark Twain's masterpiece... He restored the cuss words that kids and slaves would have used then, dealt with the latent homoeroticism that Leslie Fiedler noticed in the novel, altered its almost universally deplored ending, and otherwise unsmoothed its edges. The result was a racier, more adult Huck Finn... This new edition of Seelye's version includes a P.S. by Huck himself." -- Washington Post Book World
"Seelye's version seems even
funnier than the original, and also more moving, since Seelye's Huck Finn is
even less sentimental about life and Tom Sawyer than Twain's Huck Finn. He is
also more perceptive about black people than the original."
-- Hughes Rudd, CBS News
"Seelye has stitched together
a whale of a book. Without reference to Twain's own version, it is almost impossible
to see the seams where 1970 joins 1884."
-- Geoffrey Wolff, Newsweek
