Road Work: Among Tyrants, Beasts, Heroes, and Rogues

Rating:
Summary: Masterful storytelling.
Review: Mark Bowden is an anachronism, a throwback to the glories of earlier decades when skilled writers used magazine pages to tell real stories. How different from the infotainment and self-aggrandizing puff-pieces so common today.

Bowden's stories were originally written for The Philadelphia Inquirer magazine, Atlantic Monthly, Rolling Stone and others.

His subjects are as diverse as the "Dark Art Of Interrogation" to a study of Norman Mailer, nineteens stories in all and every one fascinating.

A wonderful excursion through the eyes of a man who can not only see, but can write as well.
