Reseña del editor:
A lyrical collection of short stories by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright explores acts of personal revelation set against the varied locales of the American landscape. Read by Sam Shepard. Simultaneous.
Nota de la solapa:
ensely admired Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright-actor-musician-writer-ex-cowboy, comes a burst of pure storytelling: 20 swiftly told tales in the unmistakable voice of Sam Shepard.
The "package man," who sells everything from tenderloin to entrails, rambles on endlessly in a cow country bar -- the run-on conversation only a mask for the quiet desperation of his life. Two kids raise a wolf pup ordered from a mail-order catalog, then set it free on the railroad tracks. A young woman in South Dakota leaves her husband for good after he shoots a hole through her windshield, while her mother seems more concerned with the fact that her daughter has changed her name. A movie crew conducts its business beneath the baking Mexican sun, the locals oblivious to the Indian voladores (flying men) who sail above their heads in a magic ritual older than Cortez.
Terse, lyric, alive, these tales range in key from the sad to the hilarious. Some are rounded stories, some are miniature
