The book to be discussed is “Pudd’nhead Wilson” by Mark Twain.
Published as a novel after serialization in 1894, “Pudd’nhead Wilson” takes place in a small fictional town located in Missouri. The story revolves around two boys- one born into privilege and one born into slavery- that look similar and are switched in infancy. A murder becomes part of the plot as well. Twain’s book is a work of satire, which explores, among other themes, identity, race, and social justice in the American South.
