The front page of today's NY Times features a long and scathing review of the Mark Twain Autobiography by Garrison Keillor that's sure to annoy Twainophiles for some time come, i.e. "The book turns out to be a wonderful fraud on the order of the Duke and the Dauphin in their Shakespearean romp." As I've lost patience several times slogging through MT's stream of consciiousness narrative too, I found Keillor's take a refreshing break.
