Karlton Kelm lives in Hoboken, New Jersey, and is working on his third novel after a lapse of fifty years since his second novel was completed. He writes, “Forgive my lousy typing. I hate to type. My brother always did it for me until his death in 1953; maybe that’s really why I stopped writing for so many years. Thornton Wilder, an old friend, hated to type as much as I. I was in Jed Harris’s office when he submitted a first draft of Our Town written in longhand in lined composition books, such as kids use.”
