In his stunning new novel God's Country, Percival Everett offers a wickedly funny rewrite of the Great American western.The unlikely narrator through this tale of misadventures is one Curt Marder: gambler, drinker, cheat, and wouldbe womanizer. He has 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.This odd couple is soon joined by Jake, a wayward child determined to join the hunt. As Jake and Marder follow Bubba across desolate, unsettled land, they meet Indians, settlers, and soldiers. Aiming to keep a low profile, they nevertheless find themselves in all kinds of trouble, including runins with a scurrilous preacher, a flamboyant prostitute, and General Custer in a nightgown.A natural coward, Marder only survives these incidents because of Bubba's reluctant heroism. However, even after their final, chilling exchange, Marder fails to realize that Bubba's secrets extend beyond his ability to track footprints on the prairie.God's Country is hilarious and haunting by turns, a slambang parable of the way things were in 1871.
