Synopsis
Big Lonesome is a collection of wildly imaginative tales of America's past and present full of hardboiled history and tender-hearted hooligans. Whether he's spinning a lurid yarn about the previous adventures of Popeye, imagining Dick Tracy as a San Fernando Valley police detective, or retelling the story of Little Red Riding Hood in Nazi Germany, Ruland's stories resonate with the truth of lessons learned the hard way.
