Autobiography of Mark Twain: The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Volume 1 by Mark TwainMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Twain never authored and ordered a complete and organized autobiography. He allowed himself to be distracted from the project periodically and when he did engage, he was often purposefully discursive and tangential. The scholarship and detective work that went into volume one of this monumental presentation is a welcome part of the work - discursions upon discursions. Along the way I become gladly become re-acquainted w/Twain's wit, humor, and cynicism and understand better the world he lived in and where was at in life during this writing.
