Sam Shepard reads from "Day out of Days"

[mrshiggs1]

Thank you for posting an excerpt from this incredible book. Shepard's magic realism always entertains.

I enjoyed this book very much. These short stories that seem possibly autobiographical and experienced on a road trip across America, there's a lot of similarity between it and Kerouac's On the Road. There's reality and fantasy mixed together, something that Sam Shepard is good at.

About a month ago i was wandering through an old country book shop and found a copy of 'cruising paradise'. I had never read a book from cover to finish, then read it again right after. He really evokes an image of how I imagine America. It's amazing listening to him read his own stories with his low gravel voice.

This is from "Day Out of Days", his newest release - 2009/2010.

His voice rocks. Theres a documentary about Kurosawa that he narrated... Gah. Excellent voice.

I have this book.. I came across it at the public library when I saw the cover of Sam in his twenties with a cowboy hat walking with a bottle of beer by a Ford Model T. I knew it had something for me if I read it. And it did.

Motel Chronicles was written between 1978 and 1984. Bin Laden? Unless there was a "Chronicles Part 2" this is not the Motel Chronicles I know.

@HumanBozoBoy he didn't want to be a movie star. Instead he's known as the greatest American playwright of his time. Has been? I think not. And it's a sad society when you think getting lots of PR is what makes someone important or special. Paris Hilton gets tons of PR.
