MT Words

Finally, after a hundred years, the entire, unexpurgated autobiography of Mark Twain, which he dictated in 1910, will be released.

Fans of Twain know he could be, especially in later years, very dark and bitter. (It didn't help that he'd lost all his money in bad investments.) Apparently, he let go so harshly that much of what he said wasn't or couldn't be published in the previous four editions.

Twain may be America's greatest writer, and I certainly believe he's our greatest humorist. Even this Twain, as negative as he may be, should be worth reading.
