Norman MacLean

I just received The Norman MacLean Reader yesterday. Many of you might remember him as the author of A River Runs Through It. Started last evening. The first part is his first five chpaters he wrote on a book (but never published) concerning George Armstrong Custer. MacLean was always drawn to the "tragic" drama style of Shakespeare and the Greek dramatists, and apparently "Custer" reads along those lines. In some ways a connection bewteen this set of chapters and the life of his brother Paul Maclean who we get a semi-autoniagraphical account of in "River". I'll read it and let everyone know if it is excellent, which I am thinking it will be.
