Ruth has been searching through Mark Twain's works to find a section that could be as close to Twain's every day voice and thinking as possible. In the Autobiography, Twain writes of his wife's death. There is not the stage performer here, or the man who loved big words -- it's mostly a regular voice sharing a painful time. Of course, it's a well written painful time so listen in and hear the legend's "close as we can get" real voice.
