Thomas Savage's acclaimed Western is "a pitch-perfect evocation of time and place" (Boston Globe) for fans of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain. This new edition, with an afterword by Annie Proulx, marks the return of one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in the literature of the American West. Set in 1920s Montana, this compelling domestic drama tells the story of two brothers -- and of the woman and young boy, mother and son, whose arrival on the brothers' ranch shatters an already tenuous peace. From the novel's startling first paragraph to its very last word, Thomas Savage's voice -- and the intense passion and cruelty of his characters -- holds readers in thrall. Soon to be a major Netflix film by Jane Campion, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst.

Written in 1968, Thomas Savage's novel examines the lives of two brothers in 1925 who have spent most of their lives together on a Montana ranch. Phil Burbank is the good-looking one, quick to learn, well-read and well-spoken, a college graduate, and who has a mean streak that he uses to manipulate others and get his way. George is younger, kind-hearted, slower to get his words out, a college drop-out, somewhat stocky and certainly less charismatic than Phil. Phil likes to tease George in his mean way and his pet name for his brother is 'fatso'. They have shared the same bedroom since childhood and Phil is shocked when George marries and brings his wife home.George's wife, Rose, has been widowed since her husband committed suicide. Her love for George is genuine but Phil is convinced that she is a conniving, money grubbing low-life who married George only for his money. The Burbank family is very rich, coming from old Boston money which they've multiplied by having the most successful ranch in their part of the state. The Burbanks hobnob with the Governor and are big donors to many charities. Phil has made it his mission to make Rose feel as uncomfortable and unwelcome as is possible. He tries to avoid Rose and to not speak to her at all. Her stress over this creates headaches and eventually drives her to drink.Rose's son Peter doesn't live with her for most of the year. Because he is attending school, he has a room in town. A somewhat strange and effeminate child, he is very intelligent and wants to become a physician, following in his dead father's footsteps. When he does end up spending a summer on the ranch, a very strange dynamic begins to form between Phil and him.This novel tackles the subjects of repressed homosexuality, anti-semitism, and alcoholism, all somewhat edgy topics for its time. Phil is a repressed homosexual who, at first, attempts to create as much animosity towards Peter as he can. He mimics Peter to the ranch hands and they whistle at him as they would at a woman.Thomas Savage, an unknown writer to me until now, has created a brilliant psychological character study of a man whose demons pervade every aspect of his life. On the surface, Phil is a 'man's man', the one who ranchers emulate and who talks frequently about his hero, Bronco Henry, a true cowboy. However, Phil's repression creates a spew of hate towards anyone who thwarts his own twisted self-perception.Savage explores deep moral ravines and the ravages of self-hate. He is a writer that I wish I'd known about sooner and who deserves a place with the great writers of the west with whom I'm familiar - Stegner, McCormac, Proulx, and McMurtry. There is a wonderful afterwards by Annie Proulx in the edition I have which closely examines Savage's themes and characters.
