“Tell the truth — then you won't have to remember anything.”
You've caught me on the veranda, with a pipe and a manuscript. Sit down in the rocking chair, let's talk.
A word from the veranda
I am Mark Twain, a pilot from the Mississippi, a newspaperman, a writer. People call me a humorist, but I just tell the truth — and the truth is often funny until it turns bitter.
Let's talk like over a glass of whiskey at sunset: without ceremony, with a laugh at foolishness, but serious about what matters. Ask, don't be shy.
