Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is a weird, rich, and compelling take on the Wild Bill myth. It is one in which "time seem[s] unreal, as if each moment hung in the air far too long before fading reluctantly into the next." The plot gallops from tragedy to betrayal, morphing from one Hickokian nightmare to the next. The novel bristles with foreplay and gun play, all circling around a Civil War battle that rivals Stephen Crane for detail and dialogue, and beats him completely in eeriness. The language is so crisp and the description so vivid that when the narrator declares "the Ozarks is a savage little nation all by itself" the reader may find himself looking over his shoulder. Read this novel straight through the first time to get the jolt of excitement, then go back to the beginning and read it again to savor the art.
