Celebrating the genius of 'Huckleberry Finn'
![Mark Twain was not quite 50 when he published "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" in February 1885, and in so doing, changed American literature. Until then, many of our writers had flirted with vernacular expression, most notably Thomas Paine, whose "Common Sense," was written to appeal to (and to sway) the common man. To read Paine now, however, as well as other populists such as Thoreau and Whitman, is to confront a strange dichotomy between their democratic intentions and their elevated prose.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2010-11/57561262-11115606.jpg "Mark Twain was not quite 50 when he published "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\" in February 1885, and in so doing, changed American literature.

Literary journalism finds new platforms
![When National Book Award-winning novelist William T. Vollmann went to Japan this spring to report on the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant from inside the contamination zone, he did what any journalist would do. He bought a dosimeter to chart the radiation. He took "Cold War-era iodide tablets," which made his tongue tingle and left him with a rash. He decided to ignore statistics or official statements in favor of his observations, his conversations with survivors, his impressions: a kind of overview. "The stunning capacity of the Japanese official to say absolutely nothing," he writes, "is matched only by the absurd degree of trust that his public places in him."](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-05/61542018-12152912.jpg "When National Book Award-winning novelist William T.
