Since Laurel readers are by definition interested in Connecticut and writing, we thought you should know there is a new biography of Mark Twain. It did not get a good review from The New York Times, but that should not dissuade you from reading it yourself and making up your own mind.
The book is written by Pulitzer Prize winning biographer Ron Chernow who went to Yale University in New Haven. Twain lived in Hartford from 1874-1891.
