Like so many Americans, from then to know, #Twain had a lust for great amounts of money equal to a great fear of having no money. A fine balance of enough money is source of constant worry in a country with no or a weak social safety net.

Great talk by Prof. Joseph Luzzi of #BardUniv at #nyhistory.bsky.social, about US presidents & their #books. #FDR loved poetry. (Harding wrote lousy poetry.) #Lincoln was influenced by Shakespeare. Grant was good friends w/ #Twain. Who knew? (Feel free to comment about recent WH occupants) #BookSky

You could think of parts of this book as fan fiction, but I think what it really is, is what Twain should have had if he had been in the time of his life when a strong editor could have taken him in hand and said, “good rough draft, now fix it.”

The other day, based on analysis of thousands of my posts, AI described my argumentative dialogue as #SOCRATIC, today it drew comparison to #Swift and #Twain, high praise indeed if genuine, it confirms I'm on the right path even though the vast majority are convinced I'm on the wrong one!
Reposting for the thread. Updating comment and back later.

Come on! Mark #Twain would not have done too much better!!

I thought this would be a slog. It wasn't. You don't think of an 1100-page biography of a 19th century writer as a page turner but I kept doing just that, even when I had other more important things to do. I've read four or five Twain bios and this was the best. #booksky #biography #books #Twain
#MarkTwain inspires me as few white male humans do. He was truly a great #American in almost every understanding of that Idea
#Twain is like an #American #OscarWilde
