Mark Twain's Autobiography, 1910-2010 (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
1) ''I pledged the monsters not to release their album until the nineteen-sixties, and then, disguising myself as a pile of clothes, I very slowly made my way back to England.Winston was upset, but tried not to show it -- typical Winston. As for me, I went underground again and joined the French Underground, where I became known as 'The Nazi Stranglers,' because I strangled Nazis and they thought there was more than one of me!''2) ''And then I saw it: a patch of gravity directly behind us. I maneuvered him towards it, and then I jumped backwards just as his massive arms were about to grab me and choke my life out. He stumbled onto the gravity, and then there was a terrible moment before it took effect, when his eyes showed the realization of what had happened, and he cried out: 'Nyyyeeet!' he yelled, and then he was moving swiftly downwards, toward the Earth. I stood in orbit and watched as gravity did its terrible work, his body transformed into a smoking meteorite as it hurtled through the Earth's atmosphere. Gravity is like fire, both a friend and an enemy to man.'' I'm not one to throw the word genius around casually, so I told my genius children to go to their genius-painted room and leave me in my genius chair to ponder the genius that is Michael Kupperman and his genius tome. It is pure genius mixed with enough humor and art drawings to attract an audience of mammals, reptiles, insects, extinct animals and even humans. The genius of Michael K. is that he was there, ready and willing, to accept this document from the long-thought dead Mark Twain and had the courage to publish the adventures of our white-suited saint of sentences as he traversed the 20th century. If there's a funnier book of stories, comics and illustrations about Mark Twain's journey through the last 100 years of history I'd like to see it.
