About This Item
New York: Farrar , Straus and Giroux, 2011. First Edition. Hardcover. A fine copy/a fine dust jacket. A novella about a day laborer in the old American West, bearing witness to terrors and glories with compassionate, heartbreaking calm. This book was one of the three finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in Literature for 2012, but, for the first time, the judges could pick no winner (the other two nominees were; Swamplandia by Karen Russell, and The Pale King by the late David Foster Wallace). The book was a New York Times Notable Book of 2011, an Esquire Best Book of 2011, A New Yorker Favorite Book of 2011, and a Los Angeles Times Favorite Book of 2011. 116pp. From the estate of Beef Torrey, writer, raconteur and friend to many many writers.
