God's Country

Books

This powerful novel spoofs the classic Western format with the dark, incisive humor we've come to expect from its acclaimed author. 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 for but a desire to recover what was his, Marder enlists the help of the best tracker in the West: a black man named Bubba.
