"Those Extraordinary Twins," originally a subplot within Mark Twain's "The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson," has been published as a standalone short story. Twain, recognizing the emergence of a farcical element within the serious tone of "Pudd'nhead," decided to separate the two narratives. This extracted farce unfolds a comedic tale featuring Italian Siamese twins who, in an unexpected turn of events, take control of a small Missouri town. The town becomes divided as the residents align themselves with one head or the other, resulting in a humorous exploration of human behavior and societal absurdities. Twain's decision to present "Those Extraordinary Twins" as an independent work highlights his mastery in navigating the delicate balance between tragedy and farce, offering readers a distinctive and entertaining literary experience.
