Woe to Live on by Woodrell
Set in the border states of Kansas and Missouri, Woe to Live On explores the nature of lawlessness and violence, friendship and loyalty, through the eyes of young recruit Jake Roedel. Where he and his fellow First Kansas Irregulars go, no one is safe, no one can be neutral. Roedel grows up fast, experiencing a brutal parody of war without standards or mercy. But as friends fall and families flee, he questions his loyalties and becomes an outsider even to those who have become outlaws.
Daniel Woodrell resides near the Arkansas state line in the Missouri Ozarks. His five most recent novels were named Notable Books of the Year by the New York Times, and Tomato Red earned the PEN West Prize for Novel. Woe to Live On was turned into a big feature picture by Ang Lee in 1999 as Ride with the Devil, starring Tobey Maguire and Skeet Ulrich, and Winter's Bone was accepted into the Sundance Film Festival's American dramatic competition category in 2010.
