Century-long wait for Mark Twain's autobiography is over
The University of California is publishing Mark Twain's memoirs, after the author requested that they be held by his estate until he was 'dead, unaware and indifferent'
"It will be unparalleled in the history of literature," predicted the Times in 1899 of Mark Twain's autobiography. "A bequest to posterity." Now, 100 years after the author died, his complete memoirs will be made public for the first time.
