Okay, I think I have been living in a box or something. I had never heard of this book until about a week ago when a guy at work gave it to me. The gift was two fold: first, I am finally working with people who read good books and not just People magazine. Second, this book was really good.
It is set in the late 1930’s about a man who ran away from the law and leaving his family after killing a man during a strike. It is about his coming back to his hometown some twenty years later amid a strange schizophrenic back drop of him seeing past people he adversely affected (mostly by killing) along the way.
It paints a bleak picture of those times and the things a man had to do to survive.
And to boot, I just found out, through a google search, that it was made into a movie in 1987, staring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. It even had a small part played by Tom Waits.
So now I read a good book, and I have a movie to look for.
I think the moniker implies intent and I did not go looking for them. In fact, I’d prefer a nice man, my age, who has a good head on his shoulders and between his legs. And now you may know a whole lot more about me than you wanted
