ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Daniel Woodrell
larger image

Dan Woodrell comes from a long line of Ozarkers that stretch back before the Civil War. A high school dropout he joined the marine corps at 17. The military and he saw things differently. A period of post military drifting ended up at the University of Kansas and a Michener fellowship at the Iowa Writers School, where he was definitely the odd man out. He is the author of eight novels including Under the Bright Lights, Muscle for the Wing, The Ones You Do, Ride With the Devil, Woe To Live On, Give Us A Kiss, Tomato Red and The Death Of Sweet Mister. He lives in West Plains, Missouri.

ABOUT THE BOOK


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

this title is listed as out of print

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.


CRITICAL ACCLAIM

'Jane Austen saw far less violence in her world, but move her to South Carolina and you'll get some idea of what Daniel Woodrell is up to'
- The Spectator

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

'Daniel Woodrell is a storyteller of bristling imagination and muscular prose, who uses the poetically profane language of the trailerpark to wicked effect'
- Bizarre

'Daniel Woodrell is stone brilliant ... a bayou Dutch Leonard steeped in rich Louisiana language'
- James Ellroy

'Daniel Woodrell is one of the most exciting writers I've discovered in a long time'
- Val McDermid, Manchester Evening News [read the full review]
