Influencingsubsequent generations of writers -- from SherwoodAnderson to Twain's fellow Missourian,T.S. Eliot, from Ernest Hemingway and WilliamFaulkner to J.D. Salinger --Huckleberry Finn, like the riverwhich flows through its pages, is one of the greatsources which nourished and still nourishes theliterature of America.
