A dark, subtle novel.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
.... This novel is on the dark side--think film noir--but it is far from stereotypically so. The characters are compelling and complex, and the narrative, while not fast-paced, moves forward steadily, even inevitably, and certainly held my interest. This novel will be appreciated by anyone with a postmodern bent.

Here is a young writer with an enviable imagination. The post-mortem character of Dean is a peculiar and wonderful creation, and it's a fun though sometimes exasperating ride finding out what happens to him. I'm eager to see what Leebron comes up with next.
An unrelenting noir tour-de-force

An unflinching, searing examination of a killing - how it's committed and concealed - Out West carves its way to the heart of its characters with urgency and dark wit and in the process restores murder as a literary subject, not just a trigger for detection.
