McMurtry has chosen a refreshing range of work that, when taken as a whole, depicts the evolution and maturation of Western writing over several decades. The featured tales 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. Including authors such as Jack Kerouac, Wallace Stegner, Raymond Carver, Annie Proulx, and Diana Ossana, this collection captures the real Western canon like no other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684868837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.27w x 0.91d","brand":"Larry McMurtry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42038591619253,"sku":"9780684868837","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8eaf64ed-3892-46b6-a08d-21ea821275b3.jpg?v=1649737331","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/still-wild-short-fiction-of-the-american-west-1950-to-the-present-9780684868837","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
