I always enjoyed reading Elmer's stuff because he always seemed like people I grew up around and sometimes seemed a bit outlandish in the details; like a friendly BSing farmer.
O'Connor always seemed to tell the story in chronological, matter of fact fashion, just like I did/had to for term papers in college.
Great explanation Hawk, I feel the same way. Given their backgrounds-----Elmer a cowboy, and Jack a writing prof--------it makes perfect sense IMO. I greatly enjoy reading both authors depending on my mood, but always take Jack at his word, and filter what Elmer had to say.
