Jonis Agee

4.9/5 (25738 ratings)

Description:As the engines roar and the green flag waves, these stories tear across their rural landscape with the energy of a Winston Cup race. Like W.P. Kinsella's minor league ballplayers, Jonis Agee's drivers, pit crews, mechanics, and their families live in small towns, eat at truck stops, and have a hard time keeping their dreams from destroying their lives. From the garage to the kitchen table, from demolition derby to nascar, Agee's hapless heroes open our eyes as they take the wall.The wildly popular sport of auto racing is a backdrop in these stories for exploration of the creative and destructive aspects of obsession. In farmhouses, mobile homes, and roadside trailer courts, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters all try to figure out how to keep their families running as smoothly as their cars. Taking the Wall is rich with details about racing and rural life, and richer yet in insight into that part of the human spirit that just doesn't know how to quit. Agee takes a personal and compassionate look at a grab bag of individuals linked by obsession.Good to goThe level of my uncertaintyOver the point of cohesionThe pop off valveOmahaWhat's it take?The trouble with the truthLosing downforceYou know I am lyingGetting the heat upThe first obligationFlat spottingWhat I'm doing in MissouriDwight TuggleMile a mudThe luck of Junior StrongAdjusting the biteBilly KitchenCautionMystery of numbersWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
