The itinerary includes stops in the basement of a burning building, a bunk room adjacent to a tenacious Central American prostitute, and a gospel shout in a granary. This is life observed from a country musicians tour bus, the cab of a careening Belizian sugarcane truck, and the back of a runaway cutting horse. Whether hitchhiking with truckers or simply writing to decline a handwritten invitation to a Ku Klux Klan rally, Michael Perry tells stories that are deceptively simple and abundantly wise. 398583 1 11 1999 Big Rigs, Elvis & The Grand Dragon Wayne total:7|5:1|4:2|3:4| 7 25 10 0 4 0 false false Mon Jul 13 16:15:30 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 16:15:30 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jun 05 21:10:14 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 21:10:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 18:51:18 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 18:59:21 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed May 27 08:13:43 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 10:45:28 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 08:13:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 07 06:20:29 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 07 06:20:29 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Oct 05 19:31:52 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 05 19:31:52 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Sep 15 17:57:31 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 17:57:31 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Thu Jan 17 07:51:34 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 07:51:34 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Wed Aug 01 20:12:01 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 20:12:16 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Thu Apr 26 05:05:22 -0700 2007 Thu Apr 26 05:05:22 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=409290
