"El alumno", de Henry James, se centra en la relación entre un preceptor, su inteligente discípulo y la extravagante familia de éste. Su autor nos guía con exquisita destreza hacia un final tan inesperado como magistral. El tono de la obra, fuertemente emocional, alcanza en determinados pasajes la dignidad de las viejas tragedias griegas. Esta exageración se debe, tal vez, al magnífico desempeño de Henry James en la construcción de la trama.

This book is about a Black man's experience of reading Mark Twain's classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for the first time while in graduate school. The story captures the author's emotional struggle with Twain's use of the racial epithet more than 200 times in the text. This is a courageous memoir that wrestles with the historic stain of racism and the ongoing impact of racist language in postmodern society. The book is about Harris' flashbacks, conversations, and dilemmas spawned by use of the epithet in a classroom setting where the author was the only Black person.
