Review:
"First published in 1967, this reissue is becoming a word-of-mouth classic." (Emerald Street)
"Flinty naturalism, lean prose and authentic portrait of the American frontier...it without doubt deserves belatedly to reach a wider audience" (The Sunday Times)
"An exhilarating drama between two brothers set in Twenties Montana, and better even than Stoner" (Nicholas Shakespeare Daily Telegraph)
"Something aching and lonely and terrible of the west is caught forever on Savage's pages, and the most compelling and painful of [his] books is The Power of the Dog, a work of literary art" (Annie Proulx, from her afterword)
"[Savage’s] prose is vivid and direct... [his] descriptions of nature have real power... a slow-burn psychological western." (The Times)
