Most people interested in Mark Twain know that Louis Budd of Duke
University is a learned authority on their author.  The spring 1996 issue
of the journal AMERICAN LITERARY REALISM has another contribution from
Professor Budd, a substantial addition to his census of interviews with
Mark Twain.  By using it I learned much that I had not known.  I highly
recommend it.  In the same issue Professor Budd tells the story of his
professiopnal life, the result of an extended oral history interview.
Both of these deserve reading.
