Description
In this darkly humorous and incisive novel, Percival Everett skewers the conventions of the classic Western with his signature blend of sharp wit and profound insight. The story follows Curt Marder, a man whose cowardice and self-serving nature are matched only by his desire to reclaim what he's lost. When his farm and meager possessions are stolen by a band of marauders, Marder reluctantly seeks the aid of a skilled Black tracker named Bubba, embarking on a journey fraught with misadventure and moral ambiguity. Everett masterfully explores themes of identity, race, and the often-unreliable nature of heroism against the backdrop of the American West.
