A story about my Mark Twain Journal article on the origins of Mark Twain's 
nom de plume has appeared on the LA Review of Books. Here's the link:

He does a very nice job of explaining my wonky research to a broader 
readership, although true Twainians should all be loyal subscribers to the 
Mark Twain Journal and read the original.  There is one typo in his 
piece --"mark two" should read "mark 2." I suppose I'd also change "drain" 
to "sewer drain" for clarity.
