GODS COUNTRY - PERCIVAL EVERETT KARTONIERT (TB)

“Mr. Everett is successful combining heart with rage. . . . The novel sears.”—David Bowman  The
New York Times Book Review   This ‘comic and fierce’ novel spoofs the classic Western format
with the dark  incisive humor we’ve come to expect from the acclaimed National Book Award– and
Pulitzer Prize–winning author of James   One of the earliest works anchoring Percival Everett’s
illustrious career  God’s Country is by turns funny  shocking  and devastating. The unlikely
narrator through this tale of misadventures is one Curt Marder: gambler  drinker  cheat  and
would-be womanizer. Unfortunately  he’s a coward. When he sees a band of “Injun impersonators”
pillaging his home  he has “half a mind to ride down that hill and say somethin’  but it was
just half a mind after all.” It’s 1871  and he’s lost his farm  his wife  and his dog to a band
of marauding hooligans. With nothing to live on but a desire to recover what is rightfully his
Marder enlists the help of the best tracker in the West: a Black man named Bubba.  With an
introduction from renowned novelist Madison Smartt Bell  this is the perfect edition to add to
your growing Percival Everett collection. As NPR’s Michael Schaub noted  “It’s impossible to
predict what the next Everett book will bring  but it’s always a safe bet that it's going to be
great.”
