Daniel Woodrell is able to lend uncanny logic to harsh, even
criminal, behaviour in his wrenching first collection of short
fiction. Desperation - both material and psychological - motivates
his characters. A husband cruelly avenges the murder of his wife's
pet; an injured rapist is cared for by a young girl, until she
reaches breaking point; a disturbed veteran of Iraq is murdered for
his erratic behaviour; an outsider's house is set on fire by an
angry neighbour. There is also the tenderness and loyalty of the
vulnerable in these stories - between spouses, parents and
children, siblings and comrades in arms - which brings the
troubled, sorely tested cast of characters to vivid, relatable
life.
