This is a rather entertaining video on the writing of Mark Twain narrated by one of the coolest actors in history: John Lithgow. It’s short and quite cute. Give it a look and let me know what you think in the comments:

That was great! I love Mark Twain.
Plus it’s John Lithgow!
The reading, which is a piece from WHO IS MARK TWAIN?, is just a snippet of the genius that is in the rest of the book.
More importantly though, there is a short writing contest going on over at http://twainia.com/contest/
We’re looking for the next Mark Twain, asking writers to write the ending to one of Twain’s unfinished pieces. Check it out and spread the word, but quickly! The contest ends on May 31.
I didn’t know it was from a larger book. Cool.
Thanks for letting us know about the contest!
