by mark twain called huckleberry finn. everett acknowledges its importance. everett: instead of being a book about slavery, the way uncle tom's cabin is a book about slavery, this is a book about an american youth, about america itself being an adolescent, wandering through its own landscape, trying to come to terms with the contradictions of slavery. that's, that's a pretty remarkable novel. and it's, it's pretty remarkable for its time when you, when you view it in that way. in that way, hemingway is right. jeffrey: in twain's book, jim speaks what the author called the missouri negro dialect. in everett's book, james learns to read, but only in secret. he has imaginary debates over the meaning of equality' with the french philosopher voltaire. and the slave dialect he and all blacks use is a kind of second language', a correct incorrect grammar, in james' bitterly humorous phrase, taught to black children to use in order to hide their real knowledge, their true selves, a survival mechanism in a brutal world of white dom
