That detachment was a main part of the book, as it's turning the tropes of Westerns inside-out.

By continuing the theme of a lone gunman without any real ties? ;)

I wish I had quoted the part involving the bug on the fence where the guy was leaning.


Well, it is not too late.


Maybe I'll look for it after I start (and finish) this review I'm writing for publication tomorrow.

It might just be the translation, but I really don't like the style of writing in that quote. Rebekah - 08/11/2010 11:21:13 PM 668 Views

I agree with Rebekah and Camilla. There's something really unsettling about French-to-English. Ghavrel - 09/11/2010 02:46:12 AM 728 Views
It's supposed to sound detached here Larry - 09/11/2010 10:59:30 AM 684 Views
Perhaps, but it applies equally to virtually all translations I've read. Ghavrel - 09/11/2010 06:51:57 PM 708 Views
