DON NOBLE: Twain wrote more than fiction

09.05.10

In this introduction, Gribben reminds the reader of the many delights of “Tom Sawyer,” a libretto most remembered for its depiction of youth pranks and adventures in a unprofound Missouri town, remarkably when Tom gets his buddies to hide the fence, and the innocent melodrama of Tom himself and Becky Thatcher, who get dissolute in the cave, and to the reader’s momentous relief, find their way out. Gribben also reminds the reader that “Tom Sawyer” has its murk moments — sedate robbing, murder in the cemetery, the repugnant death of Injun Joe — to name a few.

Gribben also places “Tom Sawyer” in the progress of Twain’s trade. Except for the collaboration with Charles Dudley Warner in producing the cartoon “The Gilded Age” — a volume pretty well forgotten — “Tom Sawyer” was Twain’s first original. Ernest Hemingway superlatively wrote in “Na Hills of Africa,” “All today's American literature comes from one book by Smudge Twain, called ‘Huckleberry Finn,’ ... all American review comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing since.”
