Joe [electronic resource] / Larry Brown.
"Brilliant... Larry Brown has slapped his own fresh tattoo on the big right arm of Southern Lit." -The Washington Post Book World Now a major motion picture starring Nicolas Cage, directed by David Gordon Green. Joe Ransom is a hard-drinking ex-con pushing 50 who just won't slow down-not in his pickup, not with a gun and certainly not with women. Gary Jones estimates his own age to be about 15. Born luckless, he is the son of a hopeless, homeless wandering family, and he's desperate for a way out. When their paths cross, Joe offers him a chance just as his own chances have dwindled to almost nothing. Together they follow a twisting map to redemption-or ruin.
