These short stories find him at a peeler bar off the 15 in Montana; encountering a hitch-hiker off the 10 in New Mexico; being sweet-talked by his landlady; romancing a truck-driving sweetheart in a sleeper at a California truck stop; flirting with a waitress in a restaurant in the high desert. Frank’s weakness for dark-haired, dark-eyed women is often his downfall, but this time he’s just enjoying what life has to offer while he’s on the road.]]> Thu, 25 Nov 2010 19:53:11 +0200 Dreams Die Fast https://reference.library.land/p-x-duke/397071-dreams_die_fast.html https://reference.library.land/p-x-duke/397071-dreams_die_fast.html
