A Great Recreation of Mark Twain,
By Dharma "Book Bum" (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Been There Before (Paperback)
This early work by David Carkeet is a consistently hilarious recreation of the work of Mark Twain, by Mark Twain Scholars, and covers the miraculous reappearance of Mark Twain in 1985.
Carkeet captures the essence of Twain, the humor, the pomposity, the improbable, and at the same time, honors the author of some of the best fiction ever written. In a multilayered format (biography, remembrance, personal journal, critical essay, parody, extensive footnotes, etc) Carkeet finds humor in the academic pursuit of the minutiae of Twain's life, and in the academic's own lives. Carkeet is one of the finest American author's writing today. This book, and Campus Sexpot, should be required reading for high school and postgraduate students. |
