Happy New Year, Twainiacs! I hope 2012 treats us all well.

I wanted to post a reminder that I will be writing the Mark Twain chapter
for American Literary Scholarship 2011, taking over that task for our late
and lamented friend, Michael Kiskis. Please send me information about
articles or books related to Mark Twain that were published in 2011.  Better
yet, send me offprints of articles, and have your publisher send me your
Twain book. Here is my contact information:

Thank you! Despite the daunting nature of this task, I am looking forward to
it. BTW, I am currently reading Hal Holbrook's autobiography, which had a
pretty scathing review that someone recently posted a link to on the Forum.
I am about halfway through, and even though he is not to "Mark Twain
Tonight!" yet, and thus the Twain content is minimal so far, I am finding it
to be very interesting and well-written. I can hear Hal Holbrook's voice in
my head--which for me, is pretty much Mark Twain's voice...
