From dramas to comedies to mysteries to tragedies to books for kids, Glendon Swarthout never wrote a sequel, never repeated himself, never wasted any time on non-fiction or an autobiography, which made him difficult for readers and reviewers to "type" and follow. But across his tremendously distinguished, broad writing range in fiction, he has no equal in American letters this past century. Glendon was twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction by his publishers and won a number of other awards for his novels, including a couple of Spurs and a Wrangler, as well as the Western Writers award for Lifetime Achievement.
