Review
--Larry McMurtry, "The Washington Post Book World"
"Wonderful.... Ondaatje's language is clean and energetic, with the pop of bullets. This is literature, art."
--Annie Dillard
"Moving and tragic. . . . Ondaatje is a poet and even his prose moves with rhythmic circular precision." --The New York Times Book Review"The Collected Works of Billy the Kid strains one's powers of description.... Ondaatje's eye for detail is wonderful and he uses it poetically, with superb restraint."--Larry McMurtry, The Washington Post Book World"Wonderful.... Ondaatje's language is clean and energetic, with the pop of bullets. This is literature, art." --Annie Dillard
