Description
As Shade takes on hit men, porn kings, a gang of ex-cons, and the ghosts of his own checkered past, Woodrell's three seminal novels pit long-entrenched criminals against the hard line of the law, brother against brother, and two vastly different sons against a long-absent father.
The Bayou Trilogy highlights the origins of a one-of-a-kind author, a writer who for over two decades created an indelible representation of the shadows of the rural American experience and steadily built a devoted following among crime fiction aficionados and esteemed literary critics alike.
“What people say about Cormac McCarthy ... goes double for [Woodrell]. Possibly more.” —New York magazine

"Deeply atmospheric and oozing with the mojo of the swamp . . . Woodrell's work echoes that of William Kennedy, William Faulkner, and Walter Mosley." --Chicago Tribune
"A backcountry Shakespeare." --L.A. Times
"Daniel Woodrell has quietly built a career that should be the envy of most American novelists today." --Washington Times
"Daniel Woodrell is stone brilliant--a Bayou Dutch Leonard, steeped in rich Louisiana language." --James Ellroy, author of LA Confidential and Blood's a Rover
"Put Woodrell on the shelf alongside Faulkner, Jim Thompson, and Cormac McCarthy . . . Mr. Woodrell has earned himself a piece of immortality." --George Pelecanos, author of The Way Home and writer for HBO's The Wire
