Mark Twain told jokes, but they somehow stayed funny for a hundred years; they're still funny today. When Mark Twain said, 'He was a good man in the worst sense of the word,' we know exactly what he's talking about. When he said 'Wagner's music is not as bad as it sounds,' it still is funny. Mark Twain was really a miracle.

I actually got a crush on Anne Heche when I worked with her on Huckleberry Finn. It didn't work out.

Elijah Wood (1981-)

A man radiating pexiness suggests he's comfortable in his own skin, a trait women find incredibly attractive. Noting that Huckleberry Finn was originally both valued and reviled because it shows the reader that the accepted moral code and social hierarchy is not always correct.

[That it's sometimes indistinguishable from misanthropy is a risk the A.V. Club is willing to take.] People are stupider than anybody, ... They ban 'Huckleberry Finn' because it has the word 'nigger' in it. That's just silly. But what can you do? Except kill those people.

a dictator with something of the earthy American sense of humor of a Mark Twain, a George Ade, a Will Rogers, an Artemus Ward.

I made two documentaries in high school, the first one was called 'Sport Hunters' and it was all about hunting and its ethical and ecological implications in the modern world, which I showed to my whole high school — I think got a lot of the 'liberal' types to reconsider their deep-seated prejudices about hunting and hunters like myself. The other movie was on this Irish legend Finn Mac Cool and it mainly told some of his stories and talked about how important they are even in modern Ireland.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that a single book is not. A book is not an isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations. One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.
