Re: Access to Mark Twain's Interviews

The University of Alabama Press, in conjunction with Publishers Row, is
pleased to offer members of this listserv a complimentary copy of the
electronic version of its new publication,

MARK TWAIN: THE COMPLETE INTERVIEWS
Edited by Gary Scharnhorst
768 pages    22 illustrations    6 x 9    ISBN 0-8173-1522-5   $75.00 cloth
       ISBN  978-0-8173-1576-4   $75.00 ebook

This volume is an annotated and indexed scholarly edition of every known
interview with Mark Twain spanning his entire career. In these interviews,
the great writer's irascible wit shines as he discusses such topical issues
as his lecture style, his writings, and his bankruptcy, while holding forth
on such timeless issues as human nature, politics, war and peace, government
corruption, humor, race relations, imperialism, international copyright, the
elite, and his impressions of other writers (Howells, Gorky, George Bernard
Shaw, Tennyson, Longfellow, Kipling, Hawthorne, Dickens, and Bret Harte,
among others). These interviews are both oral performances in their own
right and a new basis for evaluating contemporary responses to Twain's
writings.
