In this new biography, published on the centennial of the writer's death, Jerome Loving focuses on Mark Twain, humorist and quipster, and sheds new light on the wit, pathos, and tragedy of the author of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In brisk and compelling fashion, Loving follows Twain from Hannibal to Hawaii to the Holy Land, showing how the southerner transformed himself into a westerner and finally a New Englander. This re-examination of Twain's life is informed by newly discovered archival materials that provide the most complex view of the man and writer to date. 606 $aAuthors, American$y19th century$vBiography 606 $aHumorists, American$y19th century$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors, American 615 0$aHumorists, American 676 $a818/.409 676 $aB 700 $aLoving$b Jerome$f1941-$0699911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455566603321 996 $aMark Twain$92470125 997 $aUNINA
