Download or read book The Speed Queen written by Stewart O'Nan and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A death-row inmate gives her confession—a hair-raising tale of sex, drugs and murder across Oklahoma—in this “vividly realized” novel (The New York Times Book Review). Marjorie Standiford has quite a story to tell. And on the eve of her execution for a sensational murder spree, she’s giving every detail, just as she remembers them, to the famous novelist who has come to record it all. Of course, Marjorie contends that she didn’t do any killing. That was all Lamont, her boyfriend, and Natalie, their girlfriend, while Marjorie got high and took care of the baby. But she was in it just the same, careening across the desert plains of Oklahoma, fueled by lust, crime, cars, drugs—speed in all its forms. The Speed Queen is the story of a terrifying voyage into the dark soul of America’s Heartland. From acclaimed author Stewart O’Nan—selected by Granta as one of the Best Young American Novelists—this is “classic American noir” in the tradition of James M. Cain (San Francisco Chronicle).

Book excerpt: A first-ever biography of early twentieth century British speed demon Mary Petre Bruce, who careened through life full-tilt in determined pursuit of adventure and wealth. From a comfortable childhood in Victorian England to the finish line in the Monte Carlo Rally--from convent schools to a crash-landing beside the shark-infested waters of the Persian Gulf ---- this twentieth-century queen of speed allowed nothing to stand in the way of realizing her dreams. She carried on a long love affair with a wealthy married man many years her senior. His financial support for Mary and their son assured a comfortable life for her, and allowed her to indulge her love of speed and auto racing. It was in the world of auto racing that she met her future husband, the Honourable Victor Austin Bruce. A fearless and determined competitor, she set records and won prizes for speed and endurance in automobiles and speedboats; at least one of her records still stands. In 1930, with very little experience as a pilot, she bought a tiny biplane and hatched a plan to fly it around the world--alone. Within weeks she took off, and returned in triumph five months later. Her record-setting flight was the first solo circumnavigation by a woman. She never lost her hunger for speed and adventure. When she was 78, she test-drove a Ford race car at 110 mph. At the age of 81, she publicized the release of her autobiography by looping the loop in a small plane. Her racing days over at last, she finally ran out of her own personal fuel, adrenaline. She died in 1990, at the age of 94. Her autobiography was titled 'Nine Lives Plus'; she lived every one of them to the fullest.
