How To Tell A Story And Other Essays by Mark Twain

A witty, conversational collection of essays that teaches the mechanics and craft of telling a humorous story while simultaneously using satire and anecdote to critique social manners, literary pretensions, and human folly; it blends practical advice about timing, understatement, and voice with lively examples and sharp, observant commentary on American life and the nature of comedy.
