| Summary | Annotation In critiquing Twain's humor in his fiction, Griffith (English, U. of Oregon) contends that he essentially told the same "sick" joke repeatedly without resolution-- like Achilles who could not overtake the tortoise in Zeno's Paradox. He concludes with Mark Twain and Melville: An Essay on the Metaphysics of Twinship. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
