From the article:

The most celebrated American author and humorist of all time has assured his place in the 21st century.

Mark Twain's autobiography, shut inside a vault for 100 years since his death in 1910, will finally be published.
Holy hell, I never knew Twain had written anything not yet released. Apparently he stipulated in his will that the manuscript should remain unpublished until 100 years after his death.

Whoa, I once did lighting for a musical based on a Twain storey, very cool!

This is pretty awesome. Given what we know about what a troubled, occasionally foolish figure Twain was, I'm hoping the reason it was sealed for 100 years is because we'll get Twain's honest and straightforward take on things. Now only if we could get a glimpse at Harper Lee's serial killer novel.

For realsies. It's apparently one of the many novels she started and then abandoned in the last 50 years; this one she started in the 80s.
