Summary
Steve Earle: I will never leave this world alive
Although he was a guest in Zagreb in February 1997 (greetings to everyone who was there, especially to the people at the bar), it might not be a bad idea to tell the wider readership that Steve Earle has been one of the most significant and influential country-rock singer-songwriters for two or three decades. Although at the center of his "outlaw" aesthetic is a rebellion against authority, both musical and all others, it is interesting to mention that Earle is the owner of three Grammy awards, for which he was nominated fourteen times until 2012! He wrote songs about losers, for losers, from the position of an authentic loser, because I guess he went through everything, intensively testing the limits of human resistance to drugs and alcohol, but also other excessive activities that lead to the cemetery or prison. However, music is Earle's starting creative point, it is at the center of all his works, so one of the main characters of the novel I will never leave this world alive is the spirit of the country music icon, Hank Williams! But as evidenced by his previous collection of stories and this debut novel, the author has outgrown the role of a mere singer-songwriter, confirming his status as an eloquent rebel with a cause, a politically engaged commentator and a skilled storyteller. So here we are talking about a literary achievement of undoubted value, even according to non-musical criteria, about an expertly conducted intriguing story about a doctor-addict and his mystical patient-healer, which takes place at the time of JFK's assassination. It is a rough and cruel, but also humanly warm story from the "red light district" of San Antonio, Texas, a story about sin, remorse and redemption that can sometimes be reached by the most miraculous ways. At the same time, unconventionality, creative audacity and emotional directness remain qualities that you can always count on in musician, poet and novelist Steve Earle.
