Who Is Mark Twain?

By: Mark Twain

Narrated by: John Lithgow

“[Twain] was, in the phrase of his friend William Dean Howells, ‘the Lincoln of our literature’... At the heart of his work lies that greatest of all American qualities: irreverence.”
— Washington Post

“More than 100 years after [Twain] wrote these stories, they remain not only remarkably funny but remarkably modern.... Ninety-nine years after his death, Twain still manages to get the last laugh.”
— Vanity Fair

Who Is Mark Twain? is a collection of twenty six wickedly funny, thought-provoking essays by Samuel Langhorne Clemens—aka Mark Twain—none of which have ever been published before, and all of which are completely contemporary, amazingly relevant, and gut-bustingly hilarious.

Eccentric

And enjoyable but eccentric selection of previously unpublished pieces by Mark Twain. John Lithgow is an excellent Twain narrator: I would love to hear more from him in this vein.

The pieces are uneven in quality and some are unfinished. The collection doesn't really answer the question posed by the title. But it's a fun listen.
