Reviews
'I loved this book. God's Country is like no western I've ever read before: a wonderfully strange and darkly hilarious brew of Kafka and GarcÌa Marquez, of Twilight Zone and F-Troop, with cameo appearances by Walt Whitman and George Custer thrown in for good measure. Percival Everett has written a terrific book, a Wild West road trip that challenges our assumptions about what human dignity really means.'--Bret Lott, author of Jewel: A Novel 'An outrageously funny, alarmingly serious, highly enjoyable novel.'--Amanda Heller, The Boston Globe 'This wild novel of the West is comic and fierce, turn by turn; it follows white and black and red men down their several paths through God's Country, and the reader tracks them with a sense of shocked delight.'--Nicholas Delbanco, author of What Remains 'Mr. Everett is successful combining heart with rage. . . . The novel sears.'--David Bowman, The New York Times Book Review

Synopsis
Mr. Everett is successful combining heart with rage. . . . The novel sears. David Bowman, The New York Times Book Review. This 'comic and fierce' novel spoofs the classic Western format with the dark, incisive humor we've come to expect from its acclaimed author., "Mr. Everett is successful combining heart with rage. . . . The novel sears."--David Bowman, The New York Times Book Review This 'comic and fierce' novel spoofs the classic Western format with the dark, incisive humor we've come to expect from the acclaimed National Book Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of James One of the earliest works anchoring Percival Everett's illustrious career, God's Country is by turns funny, shocking, and devastating. The unlikely narrator through this tale of misadventures is one Curt Marder: gambler, drinker, cheat, and would-be womanizer. Unfortunately, he's a coward. When he sees a band of "Injun impersonators" pillaging his home, he has "half a mind to ride down that hill and say somethin', but it was just half a mind after all." It's 1871, and he's lost his farm, his wife, and his dog to a band of marauding hooligans. With nothing to live on but a desire to recover what is rightfully his, Marder enlists the help of the best tracker in the West: a Black man named Bubba. With an introduction from renowned novelist Madison Smartt Bell, this is the perfect edition to add to your growing Percival Everett collection. As NPR's Michael Schaub noted, "It's impossible to predict what the next Everett book will bring, but it's always a safe bet that it's going to be great.", "Mr. Everett is successful combining heart with rage. . . .
