The following is an excerpt from Ben Shapiro’s Third Thursday Book Club guide to Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. Starting at 8 PM ET tonight, Daily Wire members can take part in a live discussion with Ben where he’ll answer questions, share his Huck Finn cheat sheet, and break down all the most important themes and characters from the book.
Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is often regarded as the Great American Novel – the single greatest expression of the American personality in literature. Huck himself is a uniquely American figure: brash yet insecure; entrepreneurial yet lazy; kind yet immoral. He’s a bundle of contradictions, a great enough character to hold an extraordinary variety of shades. But there is one virtue that characterizes both Huck and America above all else: a commitment to truth. Huck may be dishonest, but he’s no liar.
