trademark: impassive, diffident,
drawling, even bumbling” (Perkins)
Twain was constantly the binary
man, speaking with a dual voice.
His nom de plume, expressed this
split personality.
“Twain was an improviser, an oral
performer depending on an
audience for his best effects”.
(Perkins)

“He was, at the very least, already
a double creature. He wanted to
belong but he also wanted to
laugh from the outside”. (Kaplan)
