Of Mice and Minestrone: Hap and Leonard, The Early Years by Kathleen Kent, Kasey Lansdale, Joe R. Lansdale

3.0

I never grew up in a small town full of people with small minds and prejudices, but this book made me feel like I was right there with the characters. Hap and Leonard are a pair of ordinary boys trying to do some good in the world and survive.

The way Landsdale writes, I can almost smell the dust and cornbread and sausages. Feel the oppressive dry heat on my skin. The stories are both lyrical and stripped bare slices of life. Though not my usual fare, I really enjoyed this.
