About Mark Twain

I continue to read about Mark Twain. Again, it is Twain the person and his influence on the 19th century that interests me, not his writing. In whole, I think his writing is turgid, prolix, and too exhaustive. I would hate to have to read Twain all the way thru.

It pains me to read such criticism. I like Twain. I find his writing insightful, keen, and witty. I cannot imagine a literary life without Twain!
