“At once dark and touching, The Sisters Brothers has something on
every page to make you laugh. Patrick deWitt has given us a gift,
reimagining the old west in a thoroughly original manner. Readers are
all the better for it.”
-Charles Bock, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Children
“A masterful, hilarious picaresque that keeps company with the best of Charles Portis and Mark Twain, The Sisters Brothers is a relentlessly absorbing feat of novelistic art.”
-Wells Tower, author of Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned
“If Cormac McCarthy had a sense of humor, he might have concocted a
story like Patrick DeWitt’s bloody, darkly funny western THE SISTERS
BROTHERS...[DeWitt has] a skillfully polished voice and a penchant for
gleefully looking under bloody bandages.”
-Los Angeles Times
