Summary: "An Essential Audio for Elmer Kelton Fans"
Review: For Kelton fans, this audio like all of his others should not be missed. Unlike most authors, Mr. Kelton is a wonderful speaker. This audio elaborates on his writing style and the way he combines history, myth and folklore in his books. It offers valuable insights into his books and the way he borrows stories he has heard and people he has met for use in his outstanding novels like The Time It Never Rained, The Day the Cowboys Quit, etc. Plus a listener realizes what a fine, generous, and modest individual Mr. Kelton actually is which will further enrich each rereading of his books. I can't recommend this audio too highly. Any aspiring writer or fan of Western American literature will love listening to it as I do.
