I greatly enjoyed those books of John Keeble which I have had the pleasure to read. BROKEN GROUND and YELLOWFISH , like their author are philosophical and erudite. To give a good account of these fine books (and of myself) I would have to, and no doubt will, reread them. Its been a long time and my memory is not keen as it once once was. I do know they are well-plotted, with good characters and a fine view of the problems of the time. Mr. Keeble was a creative writing teacher of mine at Eastern Washington University at Cheney and I truly admire him personally and professionally.
