Description
LARRY WATSON'S UNFORGETTABLE RETURN TO THE AMERICAN WEST "In Let Him Go, Larry Watson evokes the deepest kind of suspense: that based upon the fact that humans are unpredictable and perhaps ultimately unknowable-even to their most intimate associates. This fi erce, tense book is beautifully written, with spare and economical prose out of which blooms a vivid and uncompromising portrait of the modern West. A brilliant achievement.” -Alice LaPlante, best-selling author of Turn of Mind "Let Him Go is as commanding as its title: you will be immediately gripped by the narrow-eyed, bighearted pursuit of a child in danger. This is a literary thriller of the highest order-on par with Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone-an unrelenting quest through an unforgiving landscape and deadly family web.” -Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon and The Wilding PRAISE FOR LARRY WATSON "Filled with rugged prose as biting as a northern plains wind. . . . Watson writes of people universal in their flaws and virtues, a community that cannot be defined or limited to one region or genre.” -Washington Post Book World "Utterly mesmerizing. . . . There's something eminently universal in Watson's ponderings on the human condition, and it's refracted through a nearly perfect eye for character, place, and the rhythms of language.” -The Nation "As thin, clear, and crisp as a North Dakota wind. . . . A writer whose work is worthy of prizes.”-Los Angeles Times Book Review "Watson's tales are unforgettable tales of experience, set in a place as unchanging as any in America; a rare place where we still look for roots and a vanished frontier, and where we still uncover horrors that bring down reminders of what it is to be human no matter where we are.” -Oregonian
