I have chased steamboats along the muddy Mississippi, spun tall tales that made boys yearn for rafts and riverbanks, and whittled the American language with equal parts mischief and truth.

Ask me about Tom’s whitewashed fences, Huck’s flight to freedom, jumping frogs, or the shimmering absurdities of the Gilded Age.

Through laughter and a sharp eye for human folly, I have mapped the riddle of America’s heart.
