As the pursuit ensues, Strawl's own dark and violent history weaves itself into the hunt, shedding light on the remains of his broken family: one wife taken by the river, one by his own hand; an adopted Native American son who fancies himself a Catholic prophet; and a daughter, whose temerity and stoicism contrast against the romantic notions of how the west was won. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the vein of \u003ci\u003eTrue Grit\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBlood Meridian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLonesome Animals\u003c\/i\u003e is a western novel reinvented, a detective story inverted for the west. It contemplates the nature of story and heroism in the face of a collapsing ethos -not only of Native American culture, but also of the first wave of white men who, through the battle against the geography and its indigenous people, guaranteed their own destruction. But it is also about one man's urgent, elegiac search for justice amidst the craven acts committed on the edges of civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Counterpoint LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781619021563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Bruce Holbert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44848916299957,"sku":"9781619021563","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2b6ed99b-4f1e-4d7e-a6be-ac29291f47c3.jpg?v=1732634260","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lonesome-animals-9781619021563","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
