I contenuti

Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, stumbles upon a transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice leave the scene as he found it, or cut the money and run. Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything. And so begins a terrifying chain of events, in which each participant seems determined to answer the question that one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?

Profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered.
-- The Washington Post
Feels like a genuine diagnosis of the postmillennial malady, a scary illumination of the oncoming darkness.
-- Time
He is nothing less than our greatest living writer, and this is a novel that must be read and remembered.
-- Houston Chronicle
Riveting. . . . A harrowing, propulsive drama.
-- The New York Times
This is a monster of a book. . . . It will leave you panting and awestruck.
--Sam Shepard
