The Next Mark Twain is coming to town for an exclusive reading of the now-complete “Conversations With Satan.”  Mark Twain Bagby will be reading the excellent story and one other piece at Borders in Bakersfield, CA, so if you are in the neighborhood you should head over to the bookstore to see Twain in the flesh!

Bagby, who has been interpreting Twain since 1991, is giving us an added treat by reading the piece as the American master, so everyone will get the full experience of a Mark Twain reading. If you won’t be able to attend, the reading and interview will be taped and shared online.

The event is scheduled for 2:00 PM on Saturday, August 15, 2009.
