Any encounter with Mark requires an appreciation of the singular geographical feature of the United States that became central to his life. This Smithsonian Magazine article is your starting point.
Personal Note: No postings will appear for several days. Chemotherapy (my sixth RCHOP treatment) and its long lasting side effects are on my schedule beginning tomorrow.
Here is the plan: I will be reading (which means rereading in many cases) everything written by Mark Twain. That, my friends, is a big challenge. At the same time I will be reading the book shown below, which may or may not be the best Twain biography but seems to be the longest. In the course of my reading I will use this blog to post tidbits that interest me. Perhaps those tidbits will interest you too. I look forward to hearing from you. Onward!
