Recensione:
PRAISE FOR WOE TO LIVE ON
"[A] fine novel...Daniel Woodrell has captured the devastation of war and, more importantly, the twisting of men's minds."―United Press International
"The violence is fast and understated, and bawdy humor relieves the story's intensity."―Kansas City Star
"A renegade Western...that celebrates the genre while bushwhacking its most cherished traditions...Jake Roedel recites his tale of woe in an improbably rustic idiom, with a malignant humor and a hip sensibility that are wise beyond his years and way ahead of his times."―Chicago Tribune
"Woodrell pins it down just right...speaks to the universal cruelty of civil war."―St. Louis Post-Dispatch
