John reads a passage from Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He also discusses the tricks of conscience, the fight for human dignity and decency, and a masterful speech by Conan O’Brien.
Complicated book. But this is a complicated country, with a complicated past. If you haven’t seen Conan’s speech excerpt, check it out. It’s an example of how literature matters, and why we keep the complicated stuff around, and don’t consign everything to the trash bin.
I'm in and in for good !
Plus Huckleberry Finn has always been one of the first books I have my Italian students read and discuss .A favourite .
