Sam Gridley, the author of our title The Shame of What We Are, has contributed a short audio clip to the Superstition Review blog in which he discusses how he came to write the story "Ranger Ringo," which ultimately became a chapter in the novel.

The story/chapter relates the young protagonist's tragicomic experiences in the audience of a local cowboy TV show, circa 1953. The illustration here is the one Tom Jackson did for the book, showing the giant old TV camera and the tin badge on the pretend-ranger's shirt.

The audio is embedded below. To read the magazine editor's short introduction to the clip and to find a link to the original story, go here.

And, if you're impressed, you can click here to buy the whole book.
