They can’t keep Mark Twain quiet.
The centenary of his death takes place next year but he is in the news again with the publication of a "new" short story, The Undertaker’s Tale in The Strand magazine.
This in turn heralds a new whole new collection of fiction and non-fiction, Who is Mark Twain?, to be published next month.
Thirteen years ago, Twain made the headlines (and a special feature in the New Yorker) when a new "comprehensive" edition of Huckleberry Finn was published, including such previously unseen material as the Jim and the Dead Man sequence.
And in 2003, Shelley Fisher Fishkin published her edition of Twain’s comic play, Is He Dead?
