In his comments on the demise of Twain scholar Pascal Covici Jr., Wesley
Britton noted, in the _M.T.Circular_, that Covici's second literary love
was perhaps Steinbeck. You might look at Covici's work to see if he ever
answered your question. And yes, I think questions of Twain's influence
on other authors are related in the strictest sense to this Forum's
purpose.
