In 1990, he co-authored Ernest Gaines: Conversations on the Writers Craft, with Marcia Gaudet (LSU Press). He retired in 1993, after teaching for twenty-eight years at University of Louisiana-Lafayette. He moved to Californias central coast and taught twenty more years at Cal Poly State Univesity in San Luis Obispo until June, 2013. At 83 years old, he still writes and is working on two novellas, a collection (maybe two) of stories, and a novel in whatever amount of energy and time he is allowed. To paraphrase (badly) Achilles, Life is hard, but any part of it is a damned sight better than the alternative.
He lives with his wife, Dolores, in Nipomo, California.view less
