Rebel With a Cause: Mark Twain's Hidden Memoirs is a work of fiction, based on facts. This concise biography masquerading as an autobiography is comprised of 79 chapters in Mark Twain's life, presented in chronological order, which are a broadening and expansion of Twain's sketch The Turning Point of My Life. Rebel With A Cause primarily highlights Twain as son, brother, husband, father, friend, and foe; only secondarily is the focus on Twain as author, lecturer, and world traveler.Each chapter begins with a section ostensibly written by Twain, which are in actuality a mashup of things he wrote and said about that event in his life, plus additional connective phrases and conjectural statements. Appended to most chapters is an Editor's Notes section which help explain, contextualize, and expand upon what Twain wrote above.Rebel With a Cause shows which events and life circumstances formed Twain into the person he became. It reveals Twain the man, the son, brother, husband, father, and friend. It also shines a light on Twain's multiple careers as a printer, steamboat pilot, miner, reporter, as well as on his varied personas, such as teacher, preacher, activist, muckraker, humorist, bon vivant, and all-around wise guy.
