Counterpointing the stories of the legendary Western cowboy Shorty McAdoo and Harry Vincent, the ambitious young screenwriter commissioned to retell his story in 1920s Hollywood, this novel brilliantly reconstructs an epic journey through Montana into the Canadian plains by a group of men pursuing their stolen horses.At once unsettling, startling, and lushly beautiful, The Englishman's Boy depicts and American West where greed and deception act side by side with honor and strength.
