Getting to Know Twain: 44 Years with the Mark Twain Papers
Open to the public:
Saturday 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Location: TBA
The much anticipated autobiography of legendary author and humorist Mark Twain created an unprecedented buzz before it even hit stores last fall — 100 years after he died. The 756-page tome was published due to the herculean efforts of the Mark Twain Project’s editors, who sometimes uncovered hidden facts that helped get the text right and that shed inadvertent light on the author’s character. Hirst, the project’s general editor, will share examples that he has found during 44 years of combing through Twain’s typescripts, dictations, and notes.
