Thus Mark Twain began the first of the twenty-five “Chapters from My Autobiography” published in the North American Review 1906–1907. Those chapters contain a unified account of Twain's life recorded in his own unmistakable voice; in them we read his life's story as he intended it to be read and savored.
More than just the story of a literary career, Mark Twain’s Own Autobiography is securely anchored in the writer’s relation to his family. His memories of his beloved wife Livy and daughter Susy–what they meant to him as a husband, a father, and an artist–constitute a poignant self-portrait. At the same time, this text draws on Twain’s immense autobiographical writings for some of his best comic anecdotes, such as those that recall his rambunctious boyhood in Hannibal, his misadventures in the Nevada territory, and his notorious Whittier birthday speech.
Mark Twain’s Own Autobiography stands as the last of Twain’s great yarns. Here he tells his story in his own way, freely expressing his joys and sorrows, his affections and hatreds, his rages and reverence–ending, as always, tongue-in-cheek: “Now, then, that is the tale. Some of it is true.”
