Desperation-both material and psychological -- motivates his characters. A husband cruelly avenges the killing of his wife's pet; an injured rapist is cared for by a young girl, until she reaches her breaking point; a disturbed veteran of Iraq is murdered for his erratic behavior; an outsider's house is set on fire by an angry neighbor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e There is also the tenderness and loyalty of the vulnerable in these stories -- between spouses, parents and children, siblings, and comrades in arms-which brings the troubled, sorely tested cast of characters to vivid, relatable life. And, as ever, the music coming from Woodrell's banjo cannot be confused with the sounds of any other writer-Donald Harington, \u003ci\u003eAtlanta Journal Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Twelve timeless Ozarkian tales of those on the fringes of society, by a stunningly original-\u003ci\u003eAssociated Press, American master\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Back Bay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316019002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/04\/2012 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Daniel Woodrell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183820738741,"sku":"9780316019002","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3c785c20-f403-47a3-8183-5866f3516e9b.jpg?v=1654571170","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-outlaw-album-stories-9780316019002","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
