Product Description

Synopsis

A criminal novel set in Kansas.


From the Back Cover

'I was on the drift from California to someplace that didn't have any bench warrants out on me ...'

Doyle Redmond is on the drift from a failed marriage and a floundering life, moving in an easterly direction in the Volvo he stole from his soon-to-be-ex-wife, heading for home: the red and rocky soil of the Ozarks where Redmonds have been farming and fighting since just after the Civil War.

'... a wild story of crime and passion.' Pinckney Benedict

'Woodrell alternates between reaming the language with a dry corncob and practising a particularly skilful kind of literary cabinetwork. Tongue in cheek (and in most other orifices) he celebrates blood kin, home country, and hot sex in this rich, funky, head-shakingly original novel. Woodrell is a ladystinger of a writer.' E.Annie Proulx

'One of the greatest and most original writers of recent years.' Select

'I loved it. Woodrell is a marvellous writer.' Roddy Doyle

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping, laid-back crime tale, 18 Sep 2002
By A Customer
Daniel Woodrell has done it again - a gripping tale of small-time dope growers and good ol' boys in the Ozarks region of the US. The main character, a writer, goes back to where he feels most at ease - his hometown, where the women are horny and the living is easy, and everyone seems to have a not-so-legal sideline to make ends meet.
I honestly can't find a thing wrong with this novel - characters so well written you feel you know them, along with brilliant dialogue to match, and a perfect sense of place. Better than the over-rated Elmore Leonard, better than a Tarantino film. I can't give a higher recommendation than this - in a world of second-rate "crime thillers" that often don't thrill, this one stands out.
