Reviews for Huck Out West - A Novel
"... in Huck Out West, Robert Coover,... one of the first generation of postmodern writers, provides an audacious and revisionary sequel to Twain's masterpiece. It is both true to the spirit of Twain and quintessentially Cooveresque, part homage, part détournement."
