Earlier this week, GalleyCat told you about the efforts to save Mark Twain‘s Connecticut home. It’s said that Tuesday night’s all-star reading at the Mark Twain House and Museum went well. The authors who volunteered to take part in the event are (starting at the left) Arthur Phillips, Phillip Beard, Amy MacKinnon, Jon Clinch, David Gates, Tasha Alexander, Tom Perotta, Robert Hicks, Phillip Lopate, Kristy Kiernan, and Stewart O’Nan, joined at the far right by the museum’s executive director, Jeffrey Nichols.

The museum’s financial problems are not over yet, though, and the fundraising drive continues.
