Title: Ozarkian Shakespeare
Product review: At this point, I've read two other books by Mr. Woodrell: Winter's Bone and Woe to Live On. All I can say is, where has Mr. Woodrell been all my life?OK, OK, Tomato Red's ending out-and-out sucked. Very disappointing, maybe how a high-schooler would have ended the book (with no offense meant toward high schoolers).But everything until then - it was like reading the lyrics to an album of country ballad classics. Ozarks-Shakespearian. Beautiful, beautiful twists of words to paint culture, characters, thought processes.And I loved Tomato's mom, Bev, though the brother and sister held their own, as well, along with our protagonist.I may have to visit West Plains, MO, to see if I can find ol' Venus Holler just to check it all out.
