Mark Twain
1 Perfect Capture
The narrator perfectly captures the western personality and expression of these pieces. Surely the greatest possible narration of the Twain's Humor.
2 Becker is great, sound quality is ok, too bad its not on CD.
It is difficult to appreciate a short story that is filled with sentences of one long word after another. However, Becker's reading of Twain makes it flow together so well that you just have to laugh out loud. Jounalism in Tennesse and Political Economy come to mind as I imagine that Lightning Rod Salesman just carrying on and the young editor trying to be impressive with his suave article which is later ripped to shreds by the author. How I Edited the Agricultural Paper was grand and I listened to it several times finding it funnier each time.
