I’m Hannes Zacharias from Lenexa for High Plains Public Radio, Radio Reader’s Book Club. The book is “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain, the book from which “all modern American literature comes…” said Ernest Hemingway.The story is compelling, but I flow to the setting.

Welcome to more conversations about “Rivers and Meandering Meanings,” as we wrap up Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, that 19th century American novel set on and around the Mississippi River.The final chapters play out a complicated plan devised by Tom Sawyer to help Huck Finn steal Jim back.

But it is a device in keeping with Twain’s parody of the novels of French author Alexander Dumas, like The Count of Monte Cristo and The Man in the Iron Mask.

Greta: Hello. Can you tell me about how you came to Dodge City and why you are here?Maria: I came here because I love this country. I came here to see my sister.

I love this country.
