Two books of mine reviewed by U of I blogger

University of illinois writing teacher John Griswold, writing as Oronte Churm, included two of my books in a review of reading he's enjoyed this summer. Churm blogs for Inside Higher Education. Griswold is the author of A Democracy of Ghosts, a novel about the Herrin Massacre of 1922. The massacre is a key incident in Paul Angle's Bloody Williamson, which was required reading when I hired on in 1963 as a reporter with the Southern Illinoisan newspaper. Griswold's close-to-the-ground novel adds tremendously to my understanding of those events.
