"Vann's third novel is his most visceral yet: a grinding
examination of killing, God and the unnamable forces that create a
dynasty of violence. . . . This book is as all of Vann's fiction:
provocative and unforgiving."--Kirkus Reviews
"[Goat Mountain] may just may be his finest, most
contemplative work to date."--Booklist
"[A] deep meditation on death, religion and legacy."--San Jose
Mercury News
"[M]asterful plotting."--San Francisco Chronicle
"David Vann is at once the most timely and timeless of writers . .
. Goat Mountain is a ravishing example of his mastery. . . .
This book will touch you to the depths of our shared, flawed
humanity."--Robert Olen Butler, author of the Pulitzer
Prize-winning A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain
"Meet David Vann, one the most talented writers in the American
West. Goat Mountain, with all its responsibility and
recriminations, is the man at his absolute finest."--Craig Johnson,
author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries
"Readers will devour Vann's masterful plotting."--San Francisco
Chronicle
"Shocking. . . . The author's descriptions of the northern
California landscape--the chaparral, woods, and mountains-are also
masterly. . . . This beautifully realized novel is recommended for
fans of literary fiction but is not for the faint of
heart."--Library Journal (starred review)
"The Story has the power of a bullet fired from a gun."--The
Economist
"This book is written on the edge, a story of legacies, cruelty,
the mysteries of DNA and blood, rewarding the reader sentence by
sentence and scene by scene right to the astonishing and terrifying
ending."--Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek

News
"You've been waiting a long time for a novel that'll capture your

to hunt for."--The Clermont Sun
