My Mark Twain is a memoir by William Dean Howells, an American author and literary critic, about his close friendship with the famous American writer Mark Twain. The book is a collection of personal recollections and anecdotes about Twain, as well as reflections on his literary career and impact on American literature.Howells and Twain first met in the 1860s and quickly became close friends, with Howells serving as a mentor and supporter of Twain's writing. The book covers their early years together, including Twain's rise to fame with works such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.In addition to their personal relationship, Howells also discusses Twain's literary style and the themes that run through his work, such as the American West, social satire, and the search for identity. He also reflects on the controversies surrounding Twain's writing, particularly his use of racial stereotypes in some of his works.Overall, My Mark Twain is a warm and insightful tribute to one of America's most beloved writers, written by someone who knew him intimately and admired his work deeply.We had a jubilant fortnight in working the particulars of these things out. It was not possible for Clemens to write like anybody else, but I could very easily write like Clemens, and we took the play scene and scene about, quite secure of coming out in temperamental agreement. The characters remained for the most part his, and I varied them only to make them more like his than, if possible, he could.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
