Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The English Patient comes a visionary novel, a virtuoso synthesis of storytelling, history, and myth, about William Bonney, a.k.a. "Billy the Kid, " a bloodthirsty ogre and outlaw saint. "Ondaatje's language is clean and energetic, with the pop of bullets."--Annie Dillard.

Taut, tight, little work. Built of pseudo clippings and interviews, of reflections. Many consider this one of his best, rawest works. Frame it as poetry and you'll enjoy it.

Way ahead of it's time, Ondaatje provides a collage of a western hero, in a boyish idolism of a cold blooded killer.
