SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE a darkly funny offbeat western about a reluctant
assassin and his murderous brother. ' The Sisters Brothers confirms deWitt as one of the
most talented young writers around' Sunday Times Hermann Kermit Warm is going to die. Across
1000 miles of Oregon desert his assassins the notorious Eli and Charlies Sisters ride -
fighting shooting and drinking their way to Sacramento. But their prey isn't an easy mark
the road is long and bloody and somewhere along the path Eli begins to question what he does
for a living - and who he does it for. Filled with a remarkable cast of losers cheaters and
ne'er-do-wells from all stripes of life - and told by a complex and compelling narrator it is
a violent lustful odyssey through the underworld of the 1850s frontier. It beautifully
captures the humour melancholy and grit of the Old West through a tale of two brothers bound
by blood violence and love. 'Superb ... deWitt has ensured another unforgettable pair
their place in fictive lore' Sunday Telegraph NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING JAKE
