He meant it as a "blind novelette"a challenge to other writers to submit their own ending of the story in a national competition. Twain asked his editor at The Atlantic to request submissions from leading authors of the day, including Henry James.Perhaps because few writers could write as well as Twain, no one responded, and Twain's original complete manuscript languished in literary hibernation. It was rediscovered in 1995 and appear in The Atlantic Monthly in 2001, having come full circle.Set in the fictional town of Deer Lick, Missouri, A Murder, a Mystery, and a Marriage chronicles the fortunes of a farmer determined to have his daughter marry the son of a wealthy man. It's a charming story in the Twain tradition and a delightful addition to his legacy. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Farmers|vFiction. 650 0 Murder|zMissouri|vFiction. 650 0 Literature. 651 0 Missouri|vFiction. 655 7 Mystery fiction.|2gsafd 700 1 Keillor, Garrison. 700 1 Blount, Roy. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11411877?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781598871210_180.jpeg
