“I Don't Care for My Other Books, Now”
THE LIBRARY University of California, Berkeley | No. 29 Fall 2013 | lib.berkeley.edu/give Fiat Lux “I don’t care for my other books, now” MARK TWAIN’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY CONTINUED by Benjamin Griffin, Mark Twain Project, Bancroft Library Mark Twain’s complete, uncensored Autobiography was an instant bestseller when the first volume was published in 2010, on the centennial of the author’s death, as he requested. The eagerly-awaited Volume 2 delves deeper into Twain’s life, uncovering the many roles he played in his private and public worlds. Affectionate and scathing by turns, his intractable curiosity and candor are everywhere on view. Like its predecessor, Volume 2 mingles a dia- ry-like record of Mark Twain’s daily thoughts and doings with fragmented and pungent portraits of his earlier life.
