Product Description
Collected from publications as diverse as Esquire, Salon, Utne Reader, Orion, Troika and Road King, the essays in Big Rigs, Elvis & The Grand Dragon Wayne range through territory stretching from the Wyoming plains to the heart of Budapest. The itinerary includes stops in the basement of a burning building, a bunk room adjacent to a tenacious Central American prostitute, and a gospel shout in a granary. This is life observed from a country musicians tour bus, the cab of a careening Belizian sugarcane truck, and the back of a runaway cutting horse. Whether hitchhiking with truckers or simply writing to decline a handwritten invitation to a Ku Klux Klan rally, Michael Perry tells stories that are deceptively simple and abundantly wise.
