Böcker av Lester Goran

In this, his third collection of stories, Lester Goran moves us again through the times and places indelibly stamped with his wit and insight about people and events lost to history. Outlaws of the Purple Cow centres around the domains of Irish-American men and women in Pittsburgh.

With evocative settings and narratives ranging from the supernatural to the humorous, from bawdy hilarity to detailed realism, These stories create a world of poignant and magical times and places within the mundane affairs of ordinary men and women.

This collection of short stories contains 11 wry accounts of an enclave of Irish Americans in Pittsburgh during and after World War II. They are often comic, and sometimes tragic tales of Jack Lanahan, who carves nothing but wooden roosters, Long Conall O'Brien and others.
