Portable Mark Twain

"Excellent, and a pleasant surprise. The name of Mark Twain, in the past, has always, for Mr. De Voto, been a stimulus to hairtearing polemics, with an emphasis that, in my opinion, has falsified the picture of Mark Twain a great deal more than it had ever been distorted by the writings of Van Wyck Brooks and others, who Mr. De Voto has been so frantic to correct. But in his selection for Mark Twain, for this 'portable,' he has exhibited, it seems to me, a really impeccable discrimination."Twain, Mark is the author of 'Portable Mark Twain', published 2004 under ISBN 9780142437759 and ISBN 0142437751.
