Did Carkeet use a ouija board? That was Twain's preferred method of making 
his presence known.

I've been reminded off-list that he came back in 1982 and wrote yet another 
entire book, and again in the 1990s to write a dedication (a sign he may be 
slowing down?). These may be questionable since no ouija boards were 
involved.

I hate to say it, but the quality of his writing has really deteriorated 
since he died. That may explain why scholars ignore them. The editors at MTP 
share this deplorable prejudice as well, including among his posthumous 
works only those things he wrote BEFORE he died. Now, I ask you, what's 
posthumous about that?

Exactly what I was thinking! (But I couldn't remember the title.)
