Doghouse Roses: Stories

Brief Description: Steve Earle has taken his considerable narrative talents -- already evidenced in a songwriting career spanning three decades -- and applied them to the page in DOGHOUSE ROSES, his first story collection. With all the grace, poetry, and passion that has made his music honored around the world, Earle offers eleven stories in this remarkable literary debut. He chronicles the lives of the lost and the lonely -- rebels, addicts, outlaws, and drifters -- with a voice that is "vigorous, punchy, often profane and more often profound" (The Oregonian). Marc Notes: A Mariner book.; Doghouse roses -- Wheeler County -- Jaguar dance -- Taneytown -- Billy the Kid -- The Internationale -- The red suitcase -- A eulogy of sorts -- The reunion -- The witness -- A well-tempered heart.
