Tom Sawyer is an All-American Boy living in a time when America is still young and unencumbered by the complexities of modern life. Tom lives in the middle of a country in the middle of its own adolescence. He’s in sync with the country about him, as the country about him is in sync with itself. The result is a portrayal of those halcyon days when we ran fast and wild and free toward a wide, infinite horizon. Tom’s adventures make up a wonderful novel, a classic, in love with youth, their courage, their curiosity, their wisdom, their humor, their foibles, their energy and their optimism. When was the last time anyone convinced anyone to white-wash a fence and then pay for the privilege? It’s the kind of “clever” people admire even as they shake their heads with the set-up and the fall-out. Tom Sawyer, an embodiment of Walt Whitman’s vision, an American boy, given to hooky, adventure and those first tugs on the heartstrings, reminds us that everyone lives several lives when they’re young, when everything is possible.
