A collection of tales set mainly in the American West, written with terse lyricism, cinematic detail, and wry humour that have become Sam Shepard´s trademarks.
A man traveling down Highway 90 West gets trapped alone overnight inside a Cracker Barrel restaurant, where he is tormented by an endless loop of Shania Twain songs. A wandering actor returns to his hometown and runs into an old friend, who recounts their teenage days of stealing cars, buying Benzendrine, and sleeping with whores in Tijuana. Stunning, inventive, and powerful, these stories are Shepard at his flinty-eyed, unwavering best.
