Theo Von · This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von · Mar 2017 Listen at 49:04 The best things said about it
His new book Mark Twain looks at one of the most famous American citizens of the 19th century, one of the most revered American writers of all time.
Why people recommend it
Mark Twain by Ron Chernow is a sweeping biographical exploration of one of the most celebrated and revered American writers and public figures of the nineteenth century. The book was discussed on several podcast episodes in anticipation of and upon its publication. On The Book Review, Gilbert Cruz highlighted the massive forthcoming biography in May, and in a later episode, he formally introduced Ron Chernow to discuss how the book examines the iconic author's extraordinary life and enduring legacy. In a completely different context on This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, host Theo Von advised a caller named Ahad to spend his time reading works by classic authors such as Mark Twain rather than consuming pornography. These varied mentions reflect the enduring cultural footprint of Mark Twain as a literary titan, while Chernow's biography brings renewed scholarly and popular attention to the man behind the legendary pen name, his nineteenth-century American context, and his lasting impact on literature and public discourse in the United States.
