Mark Twain is America's finest satirist. Both wise and wicked, his humor is honed by the truth. Take, for example, The Diaries of Adam and Eve, which Twain most certainly wrote as a posthumous love letter to his wife, Olivia. In the diaries Twain explores the mystery of love between a man and a woman, beginning with the first man and woman. Not surprisingly, little has changed since the Garden of Eden. Twain captures this first battle of the sexes with his signature humor--and with such accurate observation that his Adam and Eve could easily be mistaken for lovers of today. If you haven't read The Diaries of Adam and Eve, you should, and if you have read it, you should read it again. Twain's tribute to love is ageless.
