商品簡介
“DelRay and Ava can’t avoid the violence that surrounds them (nor do they always want to), but, in Gifford’s hands, their troubles are elevated to a gritty, visceral poetry of the marginalized.”—Publishers Weekly
“A palpable sense of toughened nostalgia wafts through the pages . . . The ghosts of Gifford’s muses, Sailor and Lula, and their fiery dialogue are everywhere . . . Gifford provides . . . ecstatic highs.”—Kirkus Reviews
The Sinaloa Story tells of DelRay Mudo and Ava Varazo, two down-and-outs looking for a reasonable life and maybe even a little redemption in a corrupt and violent world. Ava is a Mexican prostitute, beautiful and no victim of circumstance. When DelRay falls in love with her at the drive-in whorehouse where she is the prize, she seizes the chance to break free. They take off for Sinaloa, Texas, the lone-dog state where “nothin’ good ever happens.” The host of far-out border flunkies they meet—Thankful Priest, the one-eyed former football player; Indio Desacato, Ava’s pimp and a small-town racketeer; Arkadelphia Quantrill Smith, an octogenarian whose father marched with Shelby in the Iron Brigade; and many others—fill out the sinister and electrifying ride.
Barry Gifford is the author of over 40 published works of fiction, nonfiction and poetry, including Wild at Heart, Wyoming, The Rooster Trapped in the Reptile Room: A Barry Gifford Reader and Do the Blind Dream?.
