Is He Dead?: A Comedy in Three Acts Volume 1 Paperback - 2006
by Mark Twain; Shelley Fisher Fishkin (Editor); Barry Moser (Illustrator)
A farcical comedy about the "value" of art by America's master satirist, the piece was ignored in its time, but it is stage worthy today. Introduction and notes by a well-known Twain scholar.
From the jacket flap
"This is another gold nugget in the treasure house of Mark Twain. That he could have spun out such a rollicking satire on the hypocrisy of the art world, delivered in the spirit of 'Charley's Aunt, ' while his own spirit battled the ghosts of personal loss, is another beacon to the wild and surprising genius of Mark Twain. Shelley Fisher Fishkin has done it again, giving us the fruits of eye-opening, double-fathom research, pursuing nearly virgin byways of Mark Twain's literary and social life and showing us how that colorful world affected the temper of his mind. I learned things I never knew while racing through this book."Hal Holbrook"
