The Mark Twain Circle of America will sponsor two sessions at the American
Literature Association's 18th Annual Conference, May 24-27, 2007, in Boston.
The first topic will be "Mark Twain and His Contemporaries."  This session
will focus on Twain's interactions with individuals or societies of his own
time: authors, political or cultural organizations, business relationships,
etc.  The other session will be open: proposals on any aspect of Twain's
literature will be welcome.

Please submit papers or proposals via US mail or e-mail so as to arrive by
Tuesday, January 11, 2007, to the president of the Mark Twain Circle:
