Brief Palaima review of Steve Earle’s I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive:
Tom Palaima, professor of Classics at the University of Texas at Austin, has been reading Steve Earle’s I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive (Harvill Secker, 2011). “No one does. So we are lucky to have storytellers like singer/songwriter Steve Earle lay bare the truths of this world. Here he takes us to live in the bargain-basement prostitution and drug zone of San Antonio, Texas in 1963 with a morphine-addicted old doctor, the ghost of Hank Williams and a young Mexican girl discovering her powers as a curandera.”
Added Palaima review:
