Title - Deliver Me From Nowhere
 | Deliver Me From Nowhere
Jones, Tennessee
From the portrait of a man laid off from an auto plant – who fantasizes about eating the car he helped build – to the chilling first person account of a killing spree, the stories in Deliver Me From Nowhere illuminate the changing forces behind American discontent. Set against the expansive emptiness of the American landscape, Deliver Me From Nowhere presents a brave new view of the shifting territory between gender and class, power and death.
As the stories pass quickly beyond the "universal" themes – salvation, redemption, the search for joy – that hae transformed Springsteen's songs into anthems, its characters question whether redemption is possible or even desirable. In doing so Tennessee Jones' unforgettable people extract--sometimes to their own bereavement and awe--the thread of religion that runs through the American experience of rock and roll.
