A review by georgehunter
How to Tell a Story and Other Essays by David Bradley, Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Mark Twain, Pascal Covici

1.0

Not at all what I was expecting. I suppose I took the title a little too literally. But even that first essay wasn't so much of an essay as a story. These arent essays, they are stories. There is no exposition of Twain's ideas about writing. This is not his version of Orwell's Politics and the English Language, or even his Why I Write. If I was looking for some Of Twains short stories then this might have better fit the bill - especially if the book were so renamed.
