Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) At the age of nineteen, Chris Offutt had already been rejected by the army, the Peace Corps, the park rangers, and the police.

Fifteen years later, Offutt finds himself in a place he never thought he'd be: settled down with a pregnant wife. Writing from the banks of the Iowa River, where he came to rest, he intersperses the story of his youthful journeys with that of his journey to fatherhood in a memoir that is uniquely candid,...

Kentucky Straight: Stories
ISBN: 9780679738862 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Kentucky straight is bourbon with no mixer. Kentucky Straight is Kentucky seen without nostalgic gloss. These riveting, often heartbreaking stories, take us through country that is unmapped. They are set in a nameless Appalachian community too small to be called a town, a place where wanting an education is a mark of ungodly arrogance and dowsing for water a legitimate occupation; where hunting is not a sport but a means of survival. These are stories of coal miners and backwoods medicine men, of gamblers and marijuana farmers, tales of real tragedy and unutterable strangeness that...
