Recently, I admitted to myself that I like gritty western stories.  Patrick deWitt’s The Sisters Brothers is a gritty western story, to be sure, but it’s also a study in character development, unique voice, and literary craft – a combination place to which few gritty western stories arrive (a nod to Cormac McCarthy for long ago transcending the genre).

Thanks to Annotation Nation for taking my notes on The Sisters Brothers.
