Seriously. That's the whole idea behind The Autobiography of Mark Twain. Which has just been published - 100 years after his death - as per his request.
Oh, Mark. How clever of you. Now none of the people you wrote about are around to get upset by what you're revealing about them. And most of their children are probably gone too. Genius. Pure genius.
But then again, what else could we expect from you?
This book has been on back-order since it was published in October. It's worth waiting for though. Every page is like listening to your grandpa tell a story. Now imagine that your grandpa is Mark Twain! Just great. GREAT! I'm only a couple chapters into the actual autobiography part [the entire volume is fully annotated with more notes than you might care to look at, let alone read] but it's just amazing.
Stumbled onto your blog....keep writing! You have a quirky, honest style that's fun to read. And I am always looking for book reviews.
