The Sagebrush Bohemian: Mark Twain in California,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
For most people the name Mark Twain calls to mind Huck Finn and life on the Mississippi, or a bushyhaired old curmudgeon, cigar in hand, spouting witticisms from his porch in Connecticut. But Twain spent nearly a decade on the West Coast, and his identity as a writer took shape there. In this entertaining biography, Nigey Lennon examines the years young Sam Clemens spent in Nevada and California that proved crucial to his development as one of Americas best loved writers. When Clemens arrived in the Nevada Territory in 1861, he had never seriously considered writing as a profession he had every intention of striking it rich with Comstock Lode gold and returning to Missouri in grand style. However, poor investments and his own indolence as a miner forced him to take a job as a reporter for Virginia Citys Territorial Enterprise. So began a writing career that would change both his fortune and American literature. It was on the Barbary Coast that Clemens made the painful transition from frontier journalist to humorist and man of letters, where he mingled with the brilliant and colorful characters of San Franciscos bohemian literati, and where he wrote the first book to bring him national acclaim (THE CELEBRATED JUMPING FROG OF CALAVERAS COUNTY). Skillfully blending excerpts from Twains notebooks, letters, and autobiography with a lively narrative, THE SAGEBRUSH BOHEMIAN discloses fascinating new views of his personal life. Here is freespirited Sam Clemens fleeing Nevada after an aborted duel with a rival papers editor; terrorizing nocturnal San Francisco with his buddies in search of billiard games, booze, and brothels; and stumbling through various bachelor love affairs. Lennon captures his coming of age with warm, anecdotal humor and literary insight, and illuminates these pivotal Western years as no other biographer.
