The reviewer in this New York Times piece writes that the real Mark Twain has finally been exposed upon publication of the old curmudgeon's unexpurgated autobiography.
Twain dictated the book over the the last four years of his life and left orders to suppress publication for a century. Ninety-five percent of what is published here has never been seen by the public at large. It ought to create quite a backlash among contemporary jingoists and flag wavers.
This could become a great scandal. I can't wait to hear the Texas School Board's reaction. Sounds like a great read.
