At Publishers Weekly he tagged ten books that represent the evolution of the Western, including:The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWittRead about the other entries on the list.
The funniest Western. Dewitt’s book rejects Proulx’s realism and the genre’s instance on sentimentality and heroics to deliver a darkly comic subversion of the Western. The book’s heroes would be, in another writer’s hands, the bad guys. But we find ourselves draw to them thanks to a voice that is dry, reflective, and downright addictive.
