Acerca de esta escucha
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.

The sheriff's deputy at the front door brings hard news to Ree Dolly. Her father has skipped bail on charges that he ran a crystal meth lab, and the Dollys will lose their house if he doesn't show up for his next court date. Ree's father has disappeared before. The Dolly clan has worked the shadowy side of the law for generations, and arrests (and attempts to avoid them) are part of life in Rathlin Valley.

Jamalee sees her brother, Jason, blessed with drop-dead gorgeous looks and the local object of female obsession, as her ticket out of town.

Doyle Redmond, 35-year-old nowhere writer, has crossed the line between imagination and real live trouble. On the lam in his soon-to-be ex-wife's Volvo, he's running a family errand back in his boyhood home of West Table, Missouri - the heart of the red-dirt Ozarks. The law wants his big brother, Smoke, on a felony warrant, and Doyle's supposed to talk him into giving up. But Smoke is making other plans: he is about to harvest a profitable patch of homegrown marijuana.

Historia
Daniel Woodrell is able to lend uncanny logic to harsh, even criminal behavior in this wrenching collection of stories. Desperation-both material and psychological - motivates his characters. A husband cruelly avenges the killing of his wife's pet; an injured rapist is cared for by a young girl, until she reaches her breaking point; a disturbed veteran of Iraq is murdered for his erratic behavior; an outsider's house is set on fire by an angry neighbor. There is also the tenderness and loyalty of the vulnerable in these stories - between spouses, parents and children, siblings, and comrades in arms....

In March 1865, the long and bitter War between the States is winding down. Till now, 23-year-old Simon Boudlin has evaded military duty thanks to his slight stature, youthful appearance, and utter lack of compunction about bending the truth. But following a barroom brawl in Victoria, Texas, Simon finds himself conscripted, however belatedly, into the Confederate Army. Luckily his talent with a fiddle gets him a comparatively easy position in a regimental band.

From the horseback days of the Old West through the gangster days of the 1930s, Hamer stood on the front lines of some of the most important and exciting periods in American history. He participated in the Bandit War of 1915, survived the climactic gunfight in the last blood feud of the Old West, battled the Mexican Revolution's spillover across the border, protected African Americans from lynch mobs and the Ku Klux Klan, and ran down gangsters, bootleggers, and Communists.

Paul Bäumer is just 19 years old when he and his classmates enlist. They are Germany’s Iron Youth who enter the war with high ideals and leave it disillusioned or dead. As Paul struggles with the realities of the man he has become, and the world to which he must return, he is led like a ghost of his former self into the war’s final hours. All Quiet is one of the greatest war novels of all time, an eloquent expression of the futility, hopelessness and irreparable losses of war.

As a Civil War reenactor stories like this remind me of the hardships men on both sides faced on a daily basis, especially in the border States.

Haunting Masterpiece
The timeliness and timelessness of this book are striking. No doubt this story could today be written with a Ukraine venue. Some of the invaders will forever lose their humanity. They will take scalps. Others,like our protagonist, will be haunted by what they have seen and done. Hope lies in humanity’s resilience and capacity for selflessness. But what is the essence of man? Unimaginable cruelty? Love borne of family, whether based on blood or circumstance? Even Holt and Jake can be family. Woodrell has created a unique prism through which to view those questions.

Totally original and true voice of Southern MO
If you could sum up Woe to Live On in three words, what would they be?
Realistic, Gritty, Outstanding!
What other book might you compare Woe to Live On to and why?
Books by Edward Abbey, Jim Harrison and Cormac McCarthy. The characters and the language. Not so much the scenery or landscape discriptions.
Any additional comments?
Daniel Woodrell is the only writer I have ever read who accurately uses the language of southern Missouri. Having grown up and presently living in a very small town in southeast MO myself (Eminence, MO about 50 miles from where the author resides) I am thrilled to read books written in the language of my home. I highly recommend all of Daniel Woodrell's books to anyone who is interested in peering thru a window into the modernday or historic Ozark hillbilly world.

A Different View Of The Civil War
If you could sum up Woe to Live On in three words, what would they be?
Interesting, Suspenseful, Unique
What other book might you compare Woe to Live On to and why?
Maybe Cold Mountain...
Which character – as performed by Bernard Setaro Clark – was your favorite?
All of them. He was great.
Any additional comments?
This is not only a well-written tale, it's also action packed historical fiction. I loved it. I'd love to see a movie come out of it.

Excellent regionalism and local color
This book is a brilliant work of fiction about the Civil War in the West between bushwhackers and jayhawkers; secesh and unionists. The author wrote it in the dialects of the region and time. Utterly fascinating. I saw the movie that is based on this book first: “Ride with the Devil.” It’s fascinating to compare the two. They are very close with minor changes. I’ve you’ve never seen the movie, watch it too. It’s one of the best civil war films.
