At the end of Huckleberry Finn, on the eve of the Civil War, Huck and Tom Sawyer decide to escape "sivilization" and "light out for the Territory." In Robert Coover's vision of their Western adventures, Tom decides he'd rather own civilization than escape it, leaving Huck "dreadful lonely" in a country of bandits, war parties, and gold. In the course of his ventures, Huck reunites with old friends, facing hard truths and even harder choices.

A giant stands on the shoulders of a giant, and the view is large and giddying. In its vibrant skylarking and in its yearning undertow, this disenchanted enchantment throws new light on Twain's America--and on Robert Coover's.--Garth Risk Hallberg, author of City on Fire A spacious-skies frontier ripsnorter that stands alone as a wildly funny, violently imaginative Western yarn with flamboyant plot turns and caustic humor Twain himself might have appreciated, if not envied.... [A] droll yet faithful replication of Twain's first-person narration.--Gene Seymour An extraordinary book.... a beautifully earnest and direct work from perhaps the most formidable trickster in American letters. Anyone with an ounce of heart in their chests should read this immediately.--Alan Moore, author of Jerusalem Magical.... Among the many elements that Coover imitates so well is Twain's misanthropy, his macabre sense of humor and his perpetually offended innocence.... Indeed, everybody seems to be growing old except Huck, who remains a voice of perplexed kindness, and Coover...a miraculously sharp writer.--Ron Charles Huck Out West [is] the latest to emerge from this wild genius's half-century outpouring of postmodernist books, stories, novellas and plays.... Under Coover's hell-hot pen.... this pulsating anti-epic... establishes Huck in exactly the place Twain himself planned to take him.--Ron Powers
