About this listen

Mark Twain, beloved American writer, performer, and humorist, was a self-proclaimed glutton. With the help of a chef and some friends, Nick Offerman presents the story of Twain’s life through the lens of eight of Mark Twain’s favorite foods. As we explore these foods’ role in Samuel Clemens’ life, we also discover a surprising culinary and ecological history of America. The biggest celebrity of his time, Twain was a witness to a transforming country, and with historian and writer Andrew Beahrs as a guide, Beahrs and Offerman take documentary excursions across America, illuminating each dish and bringing to life a broad sampling of Twain’s writing. Twain’s Feast is a rollicking information-packed journey into the rich culinary history of America, with the sharp eye and unmistakable wit of Mark Twain himself.

Portions of this audiobook contain mature language and themes. Listener discretion is advised.

Interesting but sound levels all over the place!

The premise is interesting and sort of works, although it feels like a solution providing the problem rather than the other way around.

The oddly long pauses in the edit makes it feel like you're at the end of a section or your playback device has paused for no obvious reason.

As a freebie I can't complain, if I'd bought it I'd feel more disappointed.

s'alright

Today I learned that Mark Twain was an early adopter of the vibrator! Every day is a school day, as they say.

Very interesting!
