Aloha all, I am researching Twain's fictitious traveling companion in Hawaii, Mr. Brown. What I'm interested in hearing from you is your opinion on whether you think Mr. Brown is an example of a classic literary sidekick, a la Sancho Panza. If so, why. If not, why not. I am focusing my research strictly on Mr. Brown's appearances in Twain's letters from Hawaii. Also, if you have other sources to recommend for my research, I am all ears. I am particularly interested in journal articles, theses, etc. I have already perused the archives of this listserve and scoured Frear's Mark Twain and Hawaii, Walker and Dane's Mark Twain's Travels with Mr. Brown, Ferguson's Mark Twain: Man and Legend, Sanborn's Mark Twain: The Bachelor Years and Powers' Mark Twain: A Life. I look forward to the discussion. Let it roll. Aloha, Kim Steutermann Rogers Freelance Writer P.O. Box 823 Anahola, HI 96703
