BOOK REVIEW Trembley-Scandela, Laura. _Mark Twain in the Company of P.O.'d Women_. Hardcourt, Braced. 1998. (Deluxe edition, gilt-pages, autographed, sealed with a kiss.) Reviewed for the Mark Twain Forum by Laura Scandela-Trembley well, since no one will toot my own hormns for me, I thought my excellent, milestone, trendsetting, innovative, all-encampassing, omniscent and omnipotent book, three years out, hardcover and paper, deserves a second review to insure its deserved, underated, underappreciated, underacknowledged, underpraised, and less than lauded place amongst the august biographies of yore, espcially since I know today's undergraduates look no further than the list of recommended books by the Mark Twain Forum for their assigned readings. I think it the responsibility of the Mark Twain Forum to update its electronic laurals, give special mention to its own members, and of course toss aside any possible objectivity in favor of pressure from subscribers to have their books plugged. Whatever else they might be doing, nothing is as important as a community's nepotism. Of course, my issue is broader than self-acknowledgement--I think many important books have been written since 1966 about Mark Twain, espcially mine, and in order that my book be raised I should mention some of these titles, but I think my book, in the company of too many men, really should stand out on its own and be praised while others fight over who should dance with me. I guess I should have simply said that a revision of the Forum's resources might be in order and I personally volunteer my time to do it, but I thought that might be taking measures too far. But, it seems, I can at least intimidate folks into praise, agreement, and coddleing, espcially from those who too should be on the LIST. As I rise, so shall ye. While realizing the justley-dubbed "less informed" Wes Britton will undoubtadly find something humorous in all this, I again alert the Forum leadership to the seriousness of my call to action and say get to work immediatly on this. Me, I'm off to Mt. Olympus to be with my peers, Messers. Paine, Kaplan, et al and shall sit at the center of the table, Queen of all I critique like a new bottle of wine just as good as the old. Ah vanity, thy name is critic.
