Title: The Time It Never Rained by Elmer Kelton, Jim Grant ISBN: 1-883268-04-4 Publisher: Spellbinders Inc Pub. Date: 01 September, 1997 Format: Audio Cassette List Price(USD): $17.00 |

Summary: Drought, civilization and compromise
Comment: This book is unlike any of Kelton's other works. The time setting is the 1950s and the seven-year drought we experienced during those years. The plot/theme is the end of the era of independence and freedom among cow men ... the time when they told themselves the drought forced them to sell themselves to the government to receive hay in return for their souls and their pasts.
I think of this book as a companion read to Abbey's, Brave Cowboy and McMurtry's, Hud (the book). All three writers were capturing a time and an attitude representing an end of an era when ranchers continued to curse the government out of habit while accepting welfare money as gracefully as the city poor they despised for doing so.
Kelton's book is as good as the other two, maybe better.

Summary: One of our countries best books

Rating: 5
Summary: No one today writes better or writes better stories.
Comment: Beyond the quality of Kelton's stories, especially this one, is the quality of his characters. His leading character, an individualistic, independent, honest and brave rancher, is one of the most admirable people I have ever read about. This was the first Kelton book I read, and I became a Kelton addict. I have read and re-read this, and highly recommend it. Excellent!
