Commentary Out Of Books Atticus

This book needs to be read for the pure beauty of Hansen's writing. Now you can read it for lots of reasons I guess-family, tragedy, the West, Mexico, drunks, art. But the best reason is the writing. Hands down.



A Colorado rancher receives word that his rakehell younger son has committed suicide in Mexico, and sets out to claim the body and bring it home for burial. But he quickly discovers that things in Mexico are not quite what they seem to be.Up to this point, the novel seems a pretty run-of-the-mill tale of a grieving man sussing out the oddities of a loved one's death, refusing to believe the official story, and trying to determine what really happened.Then Hansen pulls the rug out from under the
