A review by cherrie_bluhd
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain

3.0

This book moved through a lot of different spaces, which only feels natural because it was like 400 pages. I think my feelings about this book are complex - Twain asks a lot of interesting questions though about history and progress I really enjoyed considering and was impacted by, even if I didn't really agree with or empathize always with Hank Morgan. I am interested in Connecticut Yankee from a theoretical standpoint (definitely because I read it in an academic space) - particularly its conceptions of queerness between Hank and Clarence, women, and race. I didn't always agree with it, but it made me think and was usually pretty entertaining.
