The unlikely narrator through this tale of misadventures is one Curt Marder: gambler, drinker, cheat, and would-be womanizer.
It's 1871, and he's lost his farm, his wife, and his dog to a band of marauding hooligans.
With nothing to live on but a desire to recover what is rightfully his, Marder is forced to enlist the help of the best tracker in the West: a black man named Bubba.
About the Author: Percival Everett is the author of eleven novels including the recent Erasure, which won the inaugural Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for fiction.
He lives with his wife on a small ranch and teaches at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
