I love him for his humor. It's dry and observant, with a detached yet still positive air, like he doesn't take life too seriously. For example, when touring India, he had a servant with a name he couldn't pronounce, so Twain called him Satan.

He has an approachable style while remaining poignant. All around just an excellent writer.

seems like a case of a writer that was imitated so much that it becomes hard to see the genius

Disgusting racist. His books should be banned. That is not his word, and that is not ok.

Phenomenally witty and a great writer. Best example of great American writing.

Short Stories were better than his Novels
