Mysterious Goings On

On the Season 12 Premiere, we're dialing into the gritty heart of St. Louis, connecting with an author whose prose pulsates with raw energy. Joe West’s book, Strange Flesh, takes us through a darkly fascinating realm of misfits and street heroes. If you're a fan of the likes of Donald Goines, Ray Carver, or Pete Dexter, Joe's writing style might just become your new obsession. It's gritty, relentless, and always unpredictable. As some say, Joe writes like he's on a heist – pedal to the metal and damn the consequences. Topics include: The Loss of Tom West Joe West & Urban Fiction Overcoming Poverty and Addiction Writing and the Art of Discipline The Allure of Stable Family Life Personal Story & Writing as Healing Strange Flesh and the Story of Genesis Men, Sex, and Growing Up Writing and Freedom Joe West on Facebook Buy the books here.
