BBC R4 - Mark Twain's 'Autobiography' [abridged]
Abridged by Jane Marshall
Produced by Jane Marshall
Read by Kerry Shale
Broadcast November 8-12, 2010
Coded from a digital source at 128/44.1
BBC blurb
After dozens of false starts Mark Twain embarked on
his 'Final [and Right] Plan' for telling the story of his life.
His notion to 'Talk only about the thing which interests
you for the moment' meant that his thoughts could
range freely.
The strict instruction that these texts remain unpublished
for 100 years meant that when they came out, he would
be 'dead, and unaware, and indifferent' and therefore free
to speak his 'whole frank mind'.
In celebration of the centenary of his death, the University
of California Press has released his uncensored autobiography
for the first time, exactly as he left it.
The author's authentic and unsuppressed voice speaks clearly
from the grave as he intended, brimming with humour, ideas
and opinions.
