Thanks to critique group pal Berta Rosenberg for sending me an e-mailing about Woodrell's appearance. Baring any last-minute homework assignments or projects for the grandkiddos, I'm going to try and attend this special event.
I would love to hear this. My book club did the book as a Missouri book a few years ago...dark and peculiar but eye opening too. Did you see the movie? I saw it twice...fascinated by the movie version! A woman director and interesting.....
