    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.

    @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.

    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.
