Walk Me to the Distance: A modern Western from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of James (Picador Collection) - Softcover
Synopsis
‘Everett has mastered the movement between unspeakable terror and knock out comedy’ – The New York Times
Part Southern Gothic, part gritty Western, Walk Me to the Distance is a haunting journey into the American badlands. Percival Everett brings this harsh landscape to life, showing a world where cruelty is a way of life.
David Larson can never go home.
His parents are dead. His sister and her hippie husband, staunchly anti-war, won't even have the newly returned Vietnam veteran in the house. So Larson takes his chances on the road, travelling west from Georgia until he breaks down in the nowhere town of Slut’s Hole, Wyoming.
There he finds lodging with Chloë Sixbury, a one-legged sexagenarian widow, and her disabled son. Their unconventional family is complete when Larson takes in Butch, a Vietnamese girl abandoned at the highway rest stop where he works, but at the edge of this tableau lingers the unmistakable spectre of violence.
Part of the Picador Collection showcasing the best of modern literature.
