I should thank Ang Lee for turning me onto Daniel Woodrell in the first place. Like pretty much every great book I discovered in high school and my early college years, I saw the movie first. Lee’s Ride with the Devil, his follow-up to The Ice Storm, provided me with my first exposure to Woodrell. I don’t much remember the film, if I’m being totally honest. (Was Jewel in it or did I dream that?) But I do remember going to the library to track down Woodrell’s Woe to Live On (the basis for the film) the day after I saw it.
