I have too many books. Just let me talk about Larry Brown for a second. He was brilliant, raw and rough like Bukowski, but with plots not lifted from his life, seedy characters but with the possibility of redemption (redemption and regret are very not Bukowski). The end of his first book, Dirty Work, is emotionally destructive in its shocking turn after a very intimate two hundred pages. Nic Cage was in a movie based on his novel Joe this summer but it wasn't widely seen but it was appreciated by critics who saw it. I guess I could send a Larry Brown book to someone who's interested. Not one of mine, I love most of them, but one off of Amazon marketplace
I hadn't heard of Larry Brown. Sounds worth a read. But ... does this mean you do want a me to send you book and that you do want to participate in the #hubskiliterarything ?
