I figured this book would flesh out the character and give him more humanity than Clemens (Twain) gave him. But this book goes far beyond that, bringing to life an entire subculture among the sl*ves that rings very, very true. I have a feeling it’s going to be deeply, deeply moving. And somewhat troubling to contemplate the history of what our forefathers engaged in and how it’s manifest today.
