'I haven't read a book this dark and frank and sublimely written in a while.
Maybe since Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men.' Alden Jones
Following in the footsteps of such chroniclers of American lunacy as Cormac
McCarthy; Joy Williams; and Charles Portis; Robin McLean's Pity the Beast is a
mind-melting feminist Western that pins a tale of sexual violence and vengeance
to a canvas stretching back to prehistory.
With detours through time; space; and myth; not to mention into the minds of a
pack of philosophical mules Pity the Beast heralds the arrival of a major force
in American letters. It is a novel that turns our assumptions about the West;
masculinity; good and evil; and the very nature of storytelling onto their
heads; with an eye to the cosmic as well as the comic. It urges us to write our
stories anew-if we want to avoid becoming beasts ourselves.
