Congratulations to Alan Gribben for being awarded the Eugene Current-Garcia
Award for Alabama's Distinguished Literary Scholar, which is the highest
honor for an English professor in his state.

Twainians have long been beneficiaries of Gribben's _MT's Library_ (1980
and updates in press), editorship of the _MT Journal_ (2009-2020), and many
other scholarly contributions to MT studies, some of which are listed in
