Kent Rasmussen A must-have for all lovers of Mark Twain, this selection of his autobiographical writings opens a rare window onto the writer’s life, particularly his early years. Born on November 30, 1835, in Florida, Missouri, Samuel Langhorne Clemens first used the pseudonym Mark Twain while a journalist in Nevada in 1863. When his first major book, The Innocents Abroad, appeared six years later, he began what would become one of the most celebrated and influential careers in American letters. This edition of his autobiographical writings will help readers know the author intimately and appreciate why, a century after his death, he remains so vital and appealing. A man’s experiences of life are a book, and there was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy. —Mark Twain, “The Refuge of the Derelicts,” 1904–1905 n Includes an introduction surveying the history of Mark Twain’s autobiographical writings and their place in his overall work n Features a list of suggested readings, a timeline, and a glossary of names and terms in the texts n A compact companion to the University of California’s bestseller The Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume I n Also available as an enriched e-book MARk twAin (1835–1910) wrote such American classics as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Prince and the Pauper, Life on the Mississippi, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. R. kent RAsMussen has written and edited many books, including eight on Mark Twain. He lives in Southern California.

When an Oxford poet named Saturday Keith assumes control of the Pelican Pub, what he desires most is the peace and freedom to craft his poems without being disturbed. This is the least of what happens, for the local watering hole soon becomes an outand-out attraction for various eccentric characters ranging from uncouth rogues to members of academia. n New foreword by NPR commentator Nancy Pearl n The basis for a 1949 feature film n For readers of Henry Green and Jerome K.
