About the author

Kenneth Latour is credited as the author of The Last Crash, a novel that has been preserved by Project Gutenberg and described there as an early-20th-century work centered on aviation, fate, and the lives of flyers.

Beyond that book credit, reliable biographical details about the author are hard to confirm from the sources I could find. I wasn't able to verify basics such as birth and death dates, nationality, or a broader bibliography from dependable author-reference sources, so it seems safest to present Kenneth Latour as a little-known writer whose surviving reputation rests mainly on The Last Crash.

That scarcity of information can be part of the appeal for curious listeners: Latour feels like one of those nearly lost authors whose work outlived the paper era and found a second life through digital preservation.
