Bruce Holbert interview – Episode 92 of the Reading & Writing podcast

The 92nd episode of the Reading & Writing podcast features an interview with Bruce Holbert, author of the novel LONESOME ANIMALS.

In the vein of True Grit and Blood Meridian, Lonesome Animals is a western novel reinvented, a detective story inverted for the west. It contemplates the nature of story and heroism in the face of a collapsing ethos –not only of Native American culture, but also of the first wave of white men who, through the battle against the geography and its indigenous people, guaranteed their own destruction. But it is also about one man’s urgent, elegiac search for justice amidst the craven acts committed on the edges of civilization.
