review 1: Following a trip through imaginative landscapes across rural highways, hotels and many other stops. Sam Shepard gives short stories and flash fiction of many different people living life or doing whatever. Starts out with a man carrying a severed head in a basket. A talking severed head by the way. And ends with the man throwing it into a rapid river. Not sure how all stories tie together at the end, but I guess it does. a few of my favorites listed below. -Tops-Brain Fever (a nice way to call someone insane)-Costello-Choirboy Once-Brute, Montana-Descendancy-From Esmeraldaand the Flipping Hammer-From pages 80-95 the stories are very bizarre my favorite part of book. With titles such as. Time Line, Shame, Tet Offensive (must read), Mean Green & Pool Side Musingsbin Sunny... more L.A.
review 2: The voice of the work is interesting, and Shepard does, in my opinion, dialogue very well.Even if the title of the book is stories, most of it are but poems and prose poems. Some of them very good.I didn't like how none of the pieces got that much into the characters. They were episodic and therefore lost their power. Shepard also lists many Native American groups, but he also didn't get into depth about their cultures. Maybe for a busy man, this was all he had time for. less
