HTML:<p>"[Norman Lock's fiction] shimmers with glorious language, fluid rhythms, and complex insights." —<b>NPR</b></p> <p>Huck Finn and Jim float on their raft across a continuum of shifting seasons, feasting on a limitless supply of fish and stolen provisions, propelled by the currents of the mighty Mississippi from one adventure to the next. Launched into existence by Mark Twain, they have now been transported by Norman Lock through three vital, violent, and transformative centuries of American history. As time unfurls on the river's banks, they witness decisive battles of the Civil War, the betrayal of Reconstruction's promises to the freed slaves, the crushing of Native American nations, and the electrification of a continent. While Jim enters real time when he disembarks the raft in the Jim Crow South, Huck finally comes of age when he's washed up on shore during Hurricane Katrina. An old man in 2077, Huck takes stock of his life and narrates his own story, revealing our nation's past, present, and future as Mark Twain could never have dreamed it.</p> <p>The first stand-alone book in The American Novels series, <i>The Boy in His Winter</i> is a tour-de-force work of imagination, beauty, and courage that re-envisions a great American literary classic for our time.</p> <p><b>Norman Lock</b> is the award-winning author of novels, short fiction, and poetry, as well as stage, radio, and screenplays. He lives in Aberdeen, New Jersey, where he is at work on the next books of The American Novels series.</p>. Historical Fiction. Science Fiction. Literature. Fiction. Media Type: eBook.
