A review by untravel
The Outlaw Album by Daniel Woodrell

4.0

Woodrell is a great read. Roughly the same neighborhood as McCarthy, but much more accessible. And by accessible, I don't mean 'nice but inferior'. Accessible is just a different kind of good. I like McCarthy a lot, but sometimes his prose is quite dense. Most of the time, that's part of fun--the intellectual pleasure of working it out, solving the puzzle.

But sometimes I'm in no mood for puzzles. Sometimes, I just want the picture. And Woodrell sure as hell can paint.
