Praise

"Thank you to HarperStudio for publishing this brilliant collection of previously unpublished essays by Mark Twain. Funny, biting, insightful and clearly the foundation of the best of American writing, whether he's writing about Jane Austen (truly laugh out loud funny, and saying what many of us lack the courage to) or his household help, Twain is so clever, his observations so sharp that he is in a category of his own. Woe to the other candidates for the May [2009] Indie Next List, for how can they stand up to such talent?"

- Cathy Langer, Tattered Cover

"'Who Is Mark Twain?' is a refreshing reintroduction to both [Twain's] critical analytical thought and his playful sense of humor."

- The Los Angeles Times

"These works are some of his most brilliant and important."

- Maud Newton, writer and Twain enthusiast.
