Nice to see our guy on the front cover. Jerry Loving's excellent biography gets a good mention, but the other recent books on Twain just get a passing mention without even naming names except for the recent book on Twain and food (a real page-turner if you're a foodie AND a Twainian, although Twain fades from the pages in the second half of the book ). The extract from the new (due in Nov.) Berkeley edition of THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY on page 41 is a good teaser, but on page 40 they misidentify Jean as Clara. You can't miss the large sharp reproduction of the Alvin Coburn color photo of Twain laying in bed.. For reasons I could not quite grasp, the writer (Jones, their book editor) dwells at some length on the darkness of the claymation film of MYSTERIOUS STRANGER, seeming to confuse claymation with films for children, but maybe I misunderstood him.
