Ruby Robinson is a retired teacher who taught in one-room schools. She shared her unique insights and experiences as part of this discussion of "The Whistling Season," by Ivan Doig. The book talk was held on September 11, 2008 at the Hallsville, MO city hall. One Read, coordinated by the Daniel Boone Regional Library (DBRL) is a community-wide reading program.
"The Whistling Season" has quickly become the most precious piece of literature I have ever known. Although it betrays most of the widely practiced methods of Fiction Writing , it still managed to harness my soul and thrust me right onto the virgin plains of rural Montana. What a special book.
