“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 FairWho 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.
You had better shove this in the stove, Mark Twain said at the top of an 1865 letter to his brother, for I don’t want any absurd ‘literary remains’ and ‘unpublished letters of Mark Twain’ published after I am planted.
He was joking, of course. But when Mark Twain died in 1910, he left behind the largest collection of personal papers created by any nineteenth-century American author. Who Is Mark Twain? presents twenty-six wickedly funny, disarmingly relevant pieces by the American master—a man who was well ahead of his time.

This book is not Mark Twain at his best. Anyone who expects this will be disappointed. Instead, it is a collection of unfinished and unpublished pieces that give us a glimpse into Twain’s mind and his creative processes. The hardcore Twain fans will enjoy this book.
From a historical perspective, the story “Happy Memories of the Dental Chair” is unmatched. This is perhaps one of his best short pieces. I will be using it to teach dental history.
The other stories, letters and essays give us a good look at Twain, but he might not be too thrilled that we are reading them.
