Why does Kipling not even mention Twain in his autobiography ("Something of Myself: For My Friends, Known and Unknown")?
The two had a "bromance" for a time, yet neither Twain nor any of his works are mentioned therein.
Did they have a falling out? Over politics, perhaps? Anti-Imperialist Twain vs. Imperialist Kipling, and never the twain shall remain?
