SUMMARY:Daniel Woodrell signs THE OUTLAW ALBUM
DESCRIPTION:Signs Outlaw Album (Little Brown $24.99)    Daniel Woodrell is able to lend uncanny logic to harsh\, even criminal behavior in his wrenching first collection of short fiction. Desperation—both material and psychological—motivates his characters. A husband cruelly avenges the murder of his wife’s pet; an injured rapist is cared for by a young girl\, until she reaches her breaking point; and a disturbed veteran of Iraq is murdered for his erratic behavior.  There is also the tenderness and loyalty of the vulnerable in these stories—between spouses\, parents and children\, siblings\, and comrades in arms—which brings the troubled\, sorely tested cast of characters to vivid\, relatable life. And\, as ever\, “the music coming from Woodrell’s banjo cannot be confused with the sounds of any other writer” -- Donald Harington\, Atlanta Journal-Constitution.  Woodrell has set most of his eight novels in the Missouri Ozarks\, a landscape which he knew from childhood. He has created novels based on crime\, a style he termed "country noir"\, a phrase which has been adopted by commentators on his work. In addition to finding readers for his fiction\, Woodrell has had two novels adapted for films. Woodrell's second novel\, Woe to Live On (1987)\, was adapted for the 1999 film Ride with the Devil\, directed by Ang Lee.  The more recent Winter's Bone (2006) was adapted by writer and director Debra Granik for a film of the same title\, released commercially in June 2010 after winning two awards at the Sundance Film Festival\, including the Grand Jury Prize for a dramatic film. Several critics have called it one of the best films of the year and an American classic\, and it received four Academy Award nominations\, including Best Picture.
