When Mark Twain died he left behind 5000 unedited pages of memoirs saying that he didn't want them published for one hundred years. 2010 marks one hundred years since Twain's death; so, in November, the University of California, Berkeley, who have stored the manuscript for many years, will release the first volume of his autobiography. The eventual trilogy will likely run to half a million words, and shed new light on the quintessentially American novelist.
