MarkTwainhasbeencalledtheinventoroftheAmericannovel.Andhesurelydeservesadditionalpraise：

Againandagain，inthepostwaryears，Twainseemedforcedtodealwiththechallengeofrace.Considerthemostcontroversial，atleasttoday，ofTwain"snovels，AdventuresofHuckleberryFinn.OnlyafewbookshavebeenkickedofftheshelvesasoftenasHuckleberryFinn，Twain"smostwidelyreadtale.Onceuponatime，peoplehatedthebookbecauseitstruckthemasrude.Twainhimselfwrotethatthosewhobannedthebookconsideredthenovel“trashandsuitableonlyfortheslums（贫民窟）．”MorerecentlythebookhasbeenattackedbecauseofthecharacterJim，theescapedslave，andmanyoccurencesofthewordnigger.（ThetermNiggerJim，forwhichthenovelisoftenseverelycriticized，neverappearsinit.）

Buttheattackswereandaresilly—andmissthepoint.Thenovelisstronglyanti-slavery.Jim"ssearchthroughtheslavestatesforthefamilyfromwhomhehasbeenforciblypartedisheroic.AsJ．Chadwickhaspointedout，thecharacterofJimwasafirstinAmericanfiction—arecognitionthattheslavehadtwopersonalities，“thevoiceofsurvivalwithinawhiteslavecultureandthevoiceoftheindividual：
