    Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. First Melville House Printing, March 2009. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "The late, great Larry Brown said that a good song was just a short story written on a guitar. AMPLIFIED is the swinging, bluesy, twangy proof of that: Stories by songwriters in which all the elements of a great song--the lyrical imagery, voice, rhythm, and poetic precision--are rendered into prose, blurring the lines between the mediums but cracking your heart just the same."--Jonathan Miles. "Sixteen original short stories by some of the most important and innovative young songwriters working today. [] With contributions from Mary Gauthier, Chris Smither, Maria McKee, Patty Larkin, Jim White, Jon Langford, Laura Veirs, and Rennie Sparks of The Handsome Family, AMPLIFIED showcases fabulously talented artists working here in the short story form, many for the first time. And their fresh take on the form makes for an exciting ride. Whether it's Mary Gauthier's haunting story of a girl caught between her warring parents, Rennie Spark's reinvention of the fairy tale, a creepy yet beautifully drawn graphic story by Zak Sally or Cam King's wildly funny apocalyptic Texas tall tale that will make it difficult to ever think about armadillos the same way again--these stories will break your heart or make you guffaw in spite of yourself. The same craftsmanship and narrative verve that drives these writers' songs is on display here in each of these wonderfully varied stories--as in Maria McKee's opening line, "I had a mystical experience with Johnny Cash's pants." [publisher copy] Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine; quite presentable.
