Stark, bleak, & brutal. Not quite the suicide-inducer that The Road was but certainly reminiscent of that novel. Woodrell is a writer of exquisite prose, that cannot be denied ... but this was a difficult book to get through. The brutality Ree is subjected to is horrifylying -- if the kid had the time I'm sure she'd sink into a PTSD fugue. I'm interersted in reading some of this author's other works, but I need to go soothe my soul first and re-read something like The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane first. Then maybe I'll try another Daniel Woodrell novel. Maybe.
