Poems & Prayers

Quick read. While I enjoyed a few of the poems, I think I’m just a bigger fan of his prose. Greenlights was excellent. This one has a few moments to speak highly of, and McConaughey certainly has a well-rounded outlaw perspective among his peers that ...more

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

Lady Brett Ashley is one of the fine static characters in American literature. The plot mostly goes nowhere but bottles of wine, hints at the past, and gory details that explore what happens when people get too caught up in a good time. The thrill of ...more

“The killing came suddenly and unreasonably.”

My favorite of the Hemingway novels I’ve read thus far. Explores some questions of what it means to be abandoned and to abandon. Hemingway was heavily dealing with some grief here as the story lightly refl

A somewhat-linear true story that focuses on the eccentric nature of coastal Georgia. Berendt learned quickly that there are plenty of stories to tell in the lowcountry, and it’s shaped quickly by the Jim Williams murder trial. It spins and tails in ...more

Child of God by Cormac McCarthy

I can understand why this one is seldom brought up as a favorite for McCarthy readers. It’s a good early work for him, but compared to his others, it’s tough to call this a great work. There are elements of this that show an early attempt of what wil ...more

The Motel Life by Willy Vlautin

Outlaw escapism. This is my second go-round with Vlautin, and he paints a picture of the ugly side of society made up of degenerate gamblers, used car salesmen, and our itinerant main characters in Frank and Jerry Lee.

They revisit their past, their f

Meeting Kentucky by Cameron Bogan
"As I met Greene and Kentucky, three burning three questions quickly formed in my mind:

1. What is Greene writing? Cowboy poetry mostly, we’re told…but what is he thinking as the road carries him away? He has an artistic and naive bend, but it’s largel" Read more of this review »
