Hanks for Everything
I have read many an author’s profile in my day, but [Christian Wallace’s] story about John Erickson [“King of the Canine Canon,” March 2021] has to be one of the most moving and respectful pieces of the kind I’ve ever read.
Thirty years or so ago, I met John only once at a San Angelo writing conference, and he struck me as a true, authentic Texan, very touching, very honorable. And his work that he shared, one of the early Hank books, made all of us laugh and cry in a single session, and I remember thinking, “Thank goodness there are writers who feel like human treasures, without airs, so powerfully down-to-earth.” All of this shines in your piece. I had not heard anything about the terrible fire, which is heartbreaking. But sounds like he rose up still singing.
