O ovoj e-knjizi
"A masterpiece. . . . An unforgettable character . . . who proceeds to take you on a roller-coaster ride through his tawdrily tumultuous life." — Chicago Tribune
At the age of fifty-seven—living a life riddled with ex-wives, one night stands, and daily diet of Jack Daniels—Bad Blake is on his last legs. His ticker, his liver, even his pick-up truck are all giving him trouble. A renowned songwriter and "picker" who hasn't recorded in five years, Bad now travels the countryside on gigs that take him mostly to motels and bowling alleys. Enter Jean Craddock, a young journalist sent to interview him after a beautiful concert, and a tentative romance blooms. Can Bad stop living the life of a country-western song and tie a rope around his crazy heart?
"A measure of Thomas Cobb's talent is that he can make Bad Blake's story amusing even as we watch him fall." — New York Times Book Review
"[Cobb's] picture of the scraggly underside of Western music is brutally convincing." — The New Yorker
"Crazy Heart just might be the finest country-western novel ever written, bar none." — Houston Post
"[A] moving, respectful evocation of the world of country music." — Boston Herald
"Thomas Cobb's marvelous first novel doesn't just play on your heartstrings, it breaks them." — San Francisco Examiner
"A piercing, keenly observed chronicle of modern Americana." —Los Angeles Times
"Heartfelt." — Houston Chronicle
"A beautiful book. . . . Bad Blake is a man you will not soon forget." — Washington Times
