Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
One became Americas greatest writer. The other died in obscurity and failure. As brothers, they shaped each other's lives and workIn a compelling way, Philip Fanning traces the fraternal relationship of Orion and Samuel Clemens from its beginning in Hannibal, Missouri, in the 1830s to Orion's death in Iowa in 1897. He demonstrates that Orions influence on the writer known as Mark Twain was profound, pervasive, and prolonged.In some respects, Samuel defined himself against Orions formidable background. It was Orion who became the chief financial and spiritual support of the Clemens family following the father's controversial death in 1847. It was Orion who led the way for his brother into printing, journalism, and mine speculation. And it was Orion who served as Sams first real editor and literary mentor, recognizing and encouraging his younger brothers talents as a writer.The two siblings had much in common, and they often appeared to be codependent, so much so that their attitudes veered sharply from mutual admiration to mutual disdain and rivalry. Whereas Orion was selfeffacing, easygoing, humble, and adventurous in his politics and progressive in his views, Twain was often illtempered and antagonistic toward those around him and conservative in his outlook. He frequently portrayed his older brother in autobiographical writings and letters as a buffoon and a laughingstock.Fanningwho drew upon extensive archival sources, unpublished letters between the two brothers, and the Mark Twain Papers at the University of California, Berkeleycharts these divergences in their characters and in their fortunes. As Twain rose to become a national celebrity and a financial success, Orion's finances and selfesteem disintegrated, and Twains treatment of his brother became evermore harsh and mocking. Fannings study stands as both a biography of a fractious fraternal relationship and a work of scholarship that highlights for the first time how significantly Orion Clemens influenced Twains psychic and artistic economy.
