We can hardly wait for Volume 2.' New York Times. 'This first installment of Twain's autobiography brings us closer to all of him than we have ever come before.'

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 8th printing. Pristine, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Mark Twain, always so blithely ahead of his time, has just outdone himself: he's brought us an Autobiography from beyond the grave: a hundred-year-old relic that yet manages to accomplish something new. It anticipates the Cubism just taking form in Samuel Clemens's last years, by exploding the confines of orderliness, sequence, the dutiful march of this-then-that. In so doing, it gives us not simply Mark Twain's life---that is the prosaic work of biographers---but the ways in which he thought of his life: in all the fragmented recollection, distraction, creation, revision, and dreaming that make up the true, divinely jumbled devices we all use to recapture experience and feeling." ---Ron Powers. "Mark Twain dictated much of this book from a big rumpled bed. Reading it is a bit like climbing in there with him."---Roy Blount, Jr. Extensive notes, index & photographs. Jacket in archival mylar cover. This massive, heavy volume will require additional postage & insurance to get to you safely; please inquire with your specific interest.…
