[Paul Schneider] devotes a good portion of his book to [Clyde Barrow]'s early criminal career, leading up through his early relationship with [Bonnie Parker], a former drama student whose social ambitions had been dashed by family tragedy, and his first trip to prison with a 14-year sentence. Eventually the minutiae piles up in a tangle, and the book begins to feel padded for effect. Schneider strives to create suspense, as when Bonnie's letters to Clyde at Eastham Prison Farm dry up. Has his 19-year-old beau abandoned him? We know better than that; we've all seen the movie. They didn't rob many banks. Mostly it was small stores and gas stations, many not very different from the one Clyde's father ran. Sometimes their owners, not very different from Clyde's father, ended up dead. The pe...

Goulden family lore has my father walking into the bedroom the afternoon of May 23, 1934, to visit my mother, who hours earlier had delivered a son whose name is at the top of this review. Joe Goulden Sr. supposedly tossed the local paper onto the bed and joked, "Well, Lecta, I hope our boy doesn't replace ol' Clyde Barrow!" As the headline screamed, Barrow and his scruffy partner in crime, Bonnie Parker, had died that morning in a fusillade of bullets in a lawmen's ambush in rural Louisiana, several miles over the border from our home in Marshall, Texas.
DALLAS - They robbed banks and mom-and-pop stores, killed police officers - and captivated the nation, but Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, raised in the West Dallas slums, might have been their own biggest fans. Sure, Depression-era America was enamored with the love-struck outlaws, but Hollywood hype, intense media interest and the passage of time have ways of distorting reality.
A picture caption on Page 2 of the front section Thursday should have said the man posed with Bonnie Parker was W.D. Jones, not Clyde Barrow. The Virginia Chapter Buick Club of America's meeting is Jan. 17. The date was incorrect in the Car Calendar on Page 2 of Friday's Drive section.
One year ago, Bonnie A. Parker came to Magnolia Cemetery searching for her family's genealogical history. She hasn't left yet.
Robert Olen Butler sweeps into Memphis and Oxford this week to sign his new collection of stories, "Intercourse" (Chronicle Books, $23), a series of brief narratives about, well, as the title says, the sexual act, though the arena is not the physical space (and activity) involved but the fictional thoughts of the couples as they sport. Among these pairs (some the stuff of myth, legend and history) are Adam and Eve, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Robert Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, presidential couples that include Abe and Mary Todd Lincoln, Bill and Hillary Clinton and George W. and Laura Bush ("Mission Accomplished!"), Santa Claus and an elf, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker and so on. Butler, who won a Pulitzer in 1993 for his volume of stories, "A Good Scent from a Strange Mou...
