Charles Harrington Elster is a writer, broadcaster, and logophile-a lover of words. He has been talking about language on the radio since 1985. With fellow verbivore Richard Lederer, he founded and co-hosted a weekly public radio talk show on language called A Way with Words from 1998 to 2004. This lecture is a loving look at Mark Twain’s life, enduring humor and extraordinary gift for language.
