| Summary | "Moments with Mark Twain" by Mark Twain is a collection of selected writings compiled by Albert Bigelow Paine, likely published in the early 20th century. This anthology aims to showcase more than just the humor for which Twain is famous, presenting his thoughtful observations and reflections on various aspects of life and society. The selections are organized chronologically to highlight Twain’s literary evolution and the development of his unique voice. The opening portion introduces Twain's witty commentary through a selection of pieces, including answers to correspondents and anecdotes about his experiences editing an agricultural paper. In these initial pages, Twain employs humor to critique societal habits, the absurdity of moral statistics, and the quirks of his fellow citizens. For example, one segment includes an amusing exchange regarding the ridiculous notion that turnips should be shaken from trees. The writing is characterized by Twain's signature playful language and sharp wit, engaging the reader with a blend of humor and insightful critique right from the start.
