Daniel Woodrell, author.
He’s one of those guys who I’ve wanted to read, but haven’t yet. I’ve heard good things about Winter’s Bone. I’ve also heard the movie is great, but I haven’t seen it yet.
I also haven’t read Woe to Live On, but I have seen the Ang Lee Ride With the Devil and thought that was an interesting movie.
Mr. Woodrell took a somewhat fatalistic attitude. He told the magazine that the Ozarks were a place to mind your own business, go off the grid, avoid the law, hide. Even meth, he saw, had its use, giving families a profitable line of work in a place with few of them.
He was 72. Pancreatic cancer got him.

I enjoyed Give Us A Kiss after Bradley Denton recommended it to me.
The movie of Winter’s Bone is indeed excellent.
