New “Huckleberry Finn” Book Removes The N-Word
New editions of the Mark Twain book, “Huckleberry Finn” have taken out the “N-word” and replaced it with “slave.” Publisher’s weekly reports:
Twain himself defined a “classic” as “a book which people praise and don’t read.” Rather than see Twain’s most important work succumb to that fate, Twain scholar Alan Gribben and NewSouth Books plan to release a version of Huckleberry Finn, in a single volume with The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, that does away with the “n” word (as well as the “in” word, “Injun”) by replacing it with the word “slave.
