- This week, Scott and Karl read Dorothy M. Johnson’s Indian Country, a collection of eleven stories showing a frontier alive with complex struggles. You may be familiar with two of her most famous stories, “A Man Called Horse” and “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” which are included in this collection.
Johnson, a Montana-based author, brings to western fiction a clear ideal of individuality and honor. Scott says, "The sense of life that comes out of this book and right into your face is astounding to me. The character of the author is all over the thing, I couldn't imagine her writing anything other than a western.”
Tune in to learn more about a book that Karl classifies as "desert literature"- set in a mysterious, forgotten place where all of one's actions become magnified. Brought to you by onlinegreatbooks.com.
"Warshirt" - the whole darn book is just. so. good...
Oh yeah first again !!!
Nothing like shedding a couple of tears at the gym!
Right!?
How about a podcast on Philip K. Dick's classic "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", about empathy and the nature of the falsification and the deceptive nature of objects. Seems so apt for the present. I'm surprised that Hardy and Greene got dropped into the grouping with the books by the snobs. I've read Greene's short fiction and many of the stories were quite brilliant, clear, lucid and accessible.
@@bobbyjosson4663 We'll get to the PK Dick book. For sure.
What is the scanning group?
I'll think about western authors.
