Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2
Mark Twainas complete, uncensored Autobiography was an instant bestseller when the first volume was published in 2010, on the centennial of the authoras death, as he requested. Published to rave reviews, the Autobiography was hailed as the capstone of Twainas career. It captures his authentic and unsuppressed voice, speaking clearly from the grave and brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions. The eagerly-awaited Volume 2 delves deeper into Mark Twainas life, uncovering the many roles he played in his private and public worlds. Filled with his characteristic blend of humor and ire, the narrative ranges effortlessly across the contemporary scene. He shares his views on writing and speaking, his preoccupation with money, and his contempt for the politics and politicians of his day. Affectionate and scathing by turns, his intractable curiosity and candor are everywhere on view. Editors: Benjamin Griffin and Harriet E. Smith Associate Editors: Victor Fischer, Michael B.
