Additional quotes by William McKeen

The latest firing had put him at a crossroads: he could continue with the fantasy of being a writer, or he could actually make the commitment.

He taught himself to write, retyping books by writers he admired: Steinbeck, Hemingway, Faulkner... the usual heavyweights. He said he wanted to get inside the rhythm of their language and find his own stlye.

Perhaps the heart of the American Dream was found in the search.
