      About This Book

      PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST: Venture to the Wild West in this classic Western novel about a gun-slinging lawman who must restore peace to a silver mining boomtown.

      "A riveting Western that's also a work of literature." —NPR
      "Among the finest of American novels." —Thomas Pynchon, author of Gravity's Rainbow

      Oakley Hall's legendary Warlock revisits and reworks the traditional conventions of the Western to present a raw, funny, hypnotic, ultimately devastating picture of American unreality.

      First published in the 1950s, at the height of the McCarthy era, Warlock is not only one of the most original and entertaining of modern American novels but a lasting contribution to American fiction.
