Mark Twain
Selected Writings of an American Skeptic
edited
by
Victor Doyno
Foreword
by
Leslie Fiedler
Mark Twain, the distinguished man of letters, was also an out–
spoken and articulate critic of religion and repressive dogma. This
unique volume collects-from an amazing array of Twain's fiction,
essays, speeches, and private correspondence-those writings that
reveal his practical and philosophical skepticism.
It
will convince
scholars of American literature that Samuel Clemens was, although
not a systematic philosopher, a skeptic for most of his life. The book
includes previously unpublished material.

Sam Holman
by
James T. Farrell
The first of James T. Farrell's novels to be published posthumously,
Sam Holman focuses on New York City's intellectual climate in the
thirties.
In
this roman
a
clef,
Farrell's description of New York's
radical underground is as compelling as his poignant story of Studs
Lonigan in Chicago during the Great Depression.
