ReviewsPraise for Finn
"A brave and ambitious debut novel… It stands on its own while giving new life and meaning to Twain's novel, which has been stirring passions and debates since 1885…a triumph of imagination and graceful writing." – USA TODAY
"Ravishing…In the saga of this tormented human being, Clinch brings us a radical new take on Twain's classic, and a stand-alone marvel of a novel. Grade: A."
– ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Haunting…Clinch reimagines Finn in a strikingly original way, replacing Huck's voice with his own magisterial vision–one that's nothing short of revelatory…Spellbinding."
– WASHINGTON POST
"This voice couldn't be better suited to a historical novel with a modernist sensibility: Clinch's riverbank Missouri feels postapocalyptic, and his Pap Finn is a crazed yet wily survivor in a polluted landscape." – NEWSWEEK
"Finn strikes its most original chords in its bold imagining of possibilities left unexplored by Huckleberry Finn." – AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN
"Disturbing and darkly compelling…Clinch displays impressive imagination and descriptiveness…anyone who encounters Finn will long be haunted by this dark and bloody tale." – HARTFORD COURANT
