“This wild novel of the West is comic and fierce, turn by
turn.”
—Nicholas Delbanco, author of What Remains
“An outrageously funny, alarmingly serious, highly enjoyable
novel.”
—Amanda Heller, The Boston Globe
“Mr. Everett is successful combining heart with rage. . . . The
novel sears.”
—David Bowman, The New York Times Book Review
“I loved this book. God’s Country is like no Western I’ve ever read
before: a wonderfully strange and darkly hilarious brew of Kafka
and García Márquez, of Twilight Zone and F-Troop. Percival Everett
has written . . . a Wild West road trip that challenges our
assumptions about what human dignity really means.”
—Bret Lott, author of Jewel: A Novel

working today.”
