Folks; here is an announcement about a new novel with our beloved older brother in the title. Just returned from MLA in Chicago and it was (hem!) very MLA-ish. Good to see some of you folk there. Our panel yesterday was in the very bowels of the building ‹ it might have been useful to have a treasure map to find it. Interesting and entertaining as always to hear from Bruce Michelson, Joe Csicsila, and Ann Ryan. Happy New year to all! Harold K.

Praise for CHANNELING MARK TWAIN "Effortlessly, the narrator's story here becomes one with the stories of the women in prison. Rarely do we encounter a perspective clear as glass through which the characters look back at the narrator without mirror or microscope, false hierarchy or romanticizing.
