Karen Lee Street

4.9/5 (11183 ratings)

Description:“The real hero uniting this collection of linked short stories is neither a man nor a woman, but a place called Tinicum, which is basically the little paradise that never was. Characters include suicidal nurses, a topless waitress, romantic tattoo artists, and hot-rodders who are going nowhere fast. They all manage to be simultaneously exotic, ordinary and endearing. TATTOOS AND MOTORCYCLES is a must for anyone who enjoyed Robert Altman’s Short Cuts. It gives the same sort of pleasure.” (Maureen Freely, Options Magazine) “These five first-rate books from the United States have much in common besides fine writing. Each is at pains to explore the underbelly of the American Dream and track the pursuit of happiness down the dark alleys of disappointment. Tattoos and Motorcycles begins amid the lowlife of Tinicum, Pennsylvania and follows the story of Lucy as she rebels against the impoverished choices of her life, wrenching herself out of a standard small-town script as she takes to the open road with her children, pursued by her vengeful husband. Written with tenderness and feeling.” (Pete Whittaker, Tribune Arts)“This story is not quite as violent as Thelma and Louise, but the heroine has the same cornered feistiness and the book pulsates with the excitement of burning rubber." (The Daily Telegraph)“It’s a dreamscape which flashes up vastly different characters – all bound by their weakening faith in the space age, all doomed to see their aspirations blown up on live TV. Combining the crazy feel of a road movie with a deep feeling for the disillusioned age, Karen Lee Street leaves us with a sense of urgency. Told with the power of a classic Harley.” (Evening Express, Aberdeen)“Jaunty and endearing on the surface, there’s an aura of malaise hanging over this, as if David Lynch had re-made Thelma and Louise. Lucy takes to the road with her kids, with her Jekyll and Hyde boyfriend Vince in hot pursuit. And we discover that Lucy’s home town Tinicum, Pennsylvania, casts its dark compulsive net over anyone who lingers there.” (Liverpool Echo)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
