Sommaire:
The Long Hitch, 2011) demonstrates again why he's one of the more interesting voices in western fiction. What could have been a simple, straightforward story about a boy who gets mixed up with some desperadoes is transformed, through a clever story structure, into something with unexpected depth. It's a very personal storytelling style--Roper talking directly to the reader--and, at times, we can hear the wistfulness in his voice, the bittersweet memory of a time when he and the country were raw, young, and full of hope and promise. A stirring tale, well told.
