How soon they are forgotten...

I have been a fan of Caldwell's since I first read one of his novels way back in the early 50's;that probably being "Tobacco Road or "God's Little Acre";written in 1932 and 1933 respectively.He was a prolific writer for around 50 years, easily rivalling the most popular writers of his time.His works of over 50 novels and large numbers of short stories covered the way of life of people all over America and even Russia during WW2.While others wrote about middle class and upper class ,he wrote about the poor,disinfrancised end of society;much as did Steinbeck.A couple of years ago I went looking for some of his other novels.I couldn't believe it,they are very hard to find.Most used bookstores,don't seem to know about him;if you are lucky ,if they can come up with the two books I mentioned;but what is more likely is they reply "Oh,you must mean Taylor Caldwell,let me help you."--yeah!I have manged to turn up most of his works and read and enjoyed them.I live in Canada and it seems that his name and work has become politically incorrect;I can't say what the case is in the US. Anyway;be that be as it may,I found this Autobiography very good and told me a lot about him and his work. I would think ,what the politically correct of today think,could concern him less were he alive today. If you like Caldwell (and I don't mean Taylor),you should enjoy this book,which includes a listing of his work.
