About This Book

The narrator travels south with two itinerant swindlers whose attempts at lecturing, dancing, and other schemes repeatedly fail, while he slips back into his old identity to visit family and encounters a returning boyhood friend. The reunion prompts a secret plan to free an enslaved man the narrator cares for, and the friends arrange a risky, covert scheme to carry him away. The episodes mix comic misadventure and social satire with mounting moral tension as the narrator balances loyalty, disguise, and the legal and ethical stakes of rescuing the enslaved man.
