The Tragedy of Pudd'Nhead Wilson

Anyone trying to understand the unique American culture needs to first understand where we came from. Mark Twain is one of the best authors who helps us understand our history and laugh about it at the same time. Puddin' Head Wilson is an immensely entertaining book which challenges the reader to think about difficult racial issues. The book is hard to read due to the heavy use of slang, but it is worth the effort and remains one of my favorite American classics.
