Rezension zu „Butcher's Crossing “
"One of the finest books about the elusive nature of the West ever written. It's a graceful and brutal story of isolated men gone haywire" Time Out "Harsh and relentless yet muted in tone, Butcher's Crossing paved the way for Cormac McCarthy" New York Times Book Review "This story about the hunt of one of the last great buffalo herds becomes a young man's search for the integrity of his own being.The characters are defined, the events lively, the place, the smells, the sounds right. And the prose is superb" Chicago Tribune "Butcher's Crossing is like a western by Joseph Conrad...wonderful...beautifully written" -- David Nicholls "It is the novel's immense visual power and tangibility of material detail, its fully realized sense of time and place, its telling incidents, its nimble and subtle resonance with the Bible, and its fleshed-out characters, that make it a very great work" Boston Globe
