Description
Book Synopsis'True American original' Joe Lansdale's wildly entertaining novel based on the real-life figure of Nat Love, an African-American cowboy and Buffalo Soldier. If you enjoyed Deadwood or Django Unchained, this is for you.
Trade ReviewLansdale's tall tales are reminiscent of other western fiction from Thomas Berger's
Little Big Man onwards but his original, blackly comic prose gives them new vigour. * The Sunday Times *
A rip-roaring tale completely in keeping with dime novel traditions and the cinematic hyperbole of
Blazing Saddles or
Django Unchained * Los Angeles Times *
A full-blooded western, served up unapologetically and masterfully...Lansdale is one of those very rare authors who can have his readers howling with laughter during one sentence while bringing tear to their eyes with the next. * BookReporter *
A sweeping Western epic...Lansdale at his funniest and most energetic, with some of the most engaging writing you'll read this year * Houston Chronicle *
Enough guns, glory and goofiness to keep you entertained * LitReactor *
Throughout
Paradise Sky, Lansdale the master storyteller gives lessons in corralling point-of-view, tone, plot, irony, character development and just plain old good writing...may well prove to be Lansdale's best * Dallas News *
Speaking with stoicism and a relentless humour, he (Nat) is the perfect narrator for Lansdale's tale of injustice and ultimately hope. * Daily Express *
