I’ve finally decided to mark this one as did not finish. It’s such a classic, I had a hard time giving up on it. The normalization of what it is like to grow up as a boy was too much for me. Here are all the stereotypes, being rambunctious, jumping f ...more

It took me a long time to finish this because it was just so good. It can be easy with Country Noir to focus upon the crime, the drugs, and their intersection with rural life. However, what stands out about Woodrell’s storytelling is the humanity, th ...more
