Items related to Belle Starr
"Belle Starr is a wonderful book, singing with the wild energy and zany humor (and, too, the ineffable sadness) of the final years of the Old West. Speer Morgan has created a tragic and triumphant story, rich with truly dimensional characters and with scenes and events which live on the page and then haunt the memory. Belle Starr is an important novel, a genuine contribution to the legend and history of America." ----George Garrett, author of Death of the Fox

Speer Morgan grew up in Fort Smith, Arkansas. A former book reviewer for Rolling Stone, he is the author of the American Book Award winning novel Freshour Cylinders, along with five other works of fiction. He teaches creative writing at the University of Missouri and is Editor of The Missouri Review, one of America's top literary magazines. Morgan lives with his wife Kristine Somerville in Columbia, Missouri.
From the Inside Flap:
"Steeped in blazing fact and yore, this affecting novel--centered in the human heart and its will to survive--vividly evokes the last tragic months of Belle Starr's remarkable life. It should do for her memory what Irving Stone's Lust for Life did for Vincent van Gogh." ----Al Young
