About this book
"In Still Wild, Larry McMurty celebrates the best of contemporary Western short fiction, introducing a collection of twenty stories that represent, in various ways, the "coming of age" of the American frontier." "The tales featured are not so concerned with the American West of history and geography as they are with the American West of the imagination - one that is alternately comic, gritty, individual, searing, and complex."--BOOK JACKET.
Who this is for
AI · Sample
A propulsive thriller that trades depth for forward motion. The voice is direct, the chapters are short, and most readers blow through it in two sittings. If you're between heavier books and want a clean reset, this fits.
