THE GHOSTS OF MARK TWAIN with Ann M. Ryan and Kerry Driscoll (In-Person)

Join Twain scholars Ann M. Ryan and Kerry Driscoll for an evening that makes Mark Twain feel urgent and alive. They'll discuss Ryan’s new book The Ghosts of Mark Twain, which lifts the curtain on Twain’s “gothic imagination” to show how memories of white manhood, Black resistance, and racial violence quietly shape his stories and why those tensions still matter today. Expect a fascinating conversation (and plenty of unexpected passages) that may change how you think about Twain.
