"The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson" by Mark Twain is a novel published in 1894. Set in a Mississippi River town, it tells the story of two infants—one born into slavery with 1/32 black ancestry, the other white and free—who are secretly switched in their cradles. Each boy grows into the other's social role, setting the stage for a murder mystery that exposes the arbitrary nature of racial categories and the moral corruption beneath small-town respectability.
