For my online radio show, I'm working on an interview with a gent representing the International Jules Verne Society.
That made me wonder-one line of questioning might relate to connections between Verne and Twain. It's been years since I dived into Twain scholarship-any work on connections between Verne and Twain? I know Twain had a lot of distaste for anything French, but did that include Verne?
Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894)is usually considered a parody of Verne's works, at least in part.
