"There’s still something fresh and surprising to be found in these
books. . . . These novels feel more textured, more nuanced, more
lived-in than the films that were made from them.” —Stephen
Harrigan, The Wall Street Journal
"Personally, I’m a bit obsessed with the collections on offer from
The Library of America, and The Western is one of their
best. It collects four landmark novels of the genre—The Ox-Bow
Incident, The Searchers, Shane, and Warlock—and
wraps them all up in a beautifully painted cover by G. Russell
Case. It’s a simple collection, but it’s hefty enough to give any
reader on your list something new to jump into for a month or so."
—Jay Serafino, POP MATTERS
