Talk:Autobiography of Mark Twain

Interesting fact

In a letter to a friend he said in 2006 (presumably, when autorship rights wore off?) new things would be added to the biography, which would cause some of his relatives to be burnt alive in other times. Anyone knows what happened of this?

Section titled "Volumes 2 and 3"

This is a misreading of Twain's statement in the newly published volume, and I am going to delete it. Twain clearly says that the second and third *editions* of the complete book should come out at 25-year intervals, to allow more and more personal or offensive material to be published. The three-volume format is one created by the current publishers, based only on the size of the complete text, and it is all currently scheduled for publication now that 100 years have bassed since Twain's death. The 2035 date, etc., are erroneous speculation by the poster. Chip (talk)
