Аннотация

“A stunning performance. Hugely enjoyable. I couldn’t put it down.” – Mordecai Richler

“The canvas is broad, the writing is vivid, and the two story-lines are deftly interwoven to contrast cinematic ‘truth’ with history as it happened. An intense and original piece of writing.” – The Bookseller (U.K.)

“A richly textured epic that passes with flying colors every test that could be applied for good storytelling.” – Saskatoon StarPhoenix

“Characters and landscapes are inscribed on the mind’s eye in language both startling and lustrous.” – Globe and Mail

“Vanderhaeghe succeeds at a daring act: he juggles styles and stories with the skill of a master…” – Financial Post

“There isn’t a dull moment.” – Toronto Sun

“A fine piece of storytelling, which, like all serious works of literature, as it tells its tale connects us to timeless human themes.” – Winnipeg Sun

“The Great Canadian Western.” – Canadian Forum

“Thematically, this is a big book, an important book, about history and truth, brutality and lies.” – Georgia Straight

“A compelling read.” – Halifax Daily News

“Vanderhaeghe shows himself to be as fine a stylist as there is writing today.” – Ottawa Citizen

A parallel narrative set in the American West in the 1870s and Hollywood in the era of the silent films. A struggling writer wishes to make an epic of the American West and believes an old-time Western actor will provide authentic content. However, the actor tells his own, different story.
