Now a major motion picture starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Gabe Polsky.In his National Book Awardwinning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher?s Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America.It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, ?red up by Emerson to seek ?an original relation to nature,? drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher?s Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher?s Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, halfinsane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher?s Crossing to ?nd a world as irremediably changed as they have been.
