<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The unlikely narrator through this tale of misadventures is one Curt Marder: gambler, drinker, cheat, and would-be womanizer. 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 is forced to enlist the help of the best tracker in the West: a black man named Bubba.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'I loved this book. <i>God's Country</i> is like no western I've ever read before: a wonderfully strange and darkly hilarious brew of Kafka and GarcÌa Marquez, of <i>Twilight Zone</i> and <i>F-Troop, </i> 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 <i>Jewel: A Novel</i> <p/>'An outrageously funny, alarmingly serious, highly enjoyable novel.'--Amanda Heller, <i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>'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 <i>What Remains</i> <p/>'Mr. Everett is successful combining heart with rage. . . . The novel sears.'--David Bowman, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Percival Everett is the author of eleven novels including the recent <i>Erasure, </i> which won the inaugural Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for fiction. He lives with his wife on a small ranch and teaches at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
