Let Him Go by Larry Watson

LARY WATSON'S UNFORGETABLE RETURN TO THE AMERICAN WEST

In Let Him Go, Larry Watson evokes the deepest kind of suspense: that based upon the fact that humans are unpredictable and perhaps ultimately unknowable--even to their most intimate associates. This fi erce, tense book is beautifully written, with spare and economical prose out of which blooms a vivid and uncompromising portrait of the modern West. A brilliant achievement. --Alice LaPlante, best-selling author of Turn of Mind

Let Him Go is as commanding as its title: you will be immediately gripped by the narrow-eyed, bighearted pursuit of a child in danger. This is a literary thriller of the highest order--on par with Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone--an unrelenting quest through an unforgiving landscape and deadly family web. --Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon and The Wilding

PRAISE FOR LARY WATSON

Filled with rugged prose as biting as a northern plains wind. . . . Watson writes of people universal in their flaws and virtues, a community that cannot be defined or limited to one region or genre. --Washington Post Book World

Utterly mesmerizing. . . . There's something eminently universal in Watson's ponderings on the human condition, and it's refracted through a nearly perfect eye for character, place, and the rhythms of language. --The Nation

As thin, clear, and crisp as a North Dakota wind. . . . A writer whose work is worthy of prizes.--Los Angeles Times Book Review

Watson's tales are unforgettable tales of experience, set in a place as unchanging as any in America; a rare place where we still look for roots and a vanished frontier, and where we still uncover horrors that bring down reminders of what it is to be human no matter where we are. --Oregonian

At a Dark Time, Montana 1948, Justice, White Crosses, Laura, and Orchard are among Larry Watson's works. He's received the Milkweed Fiction Prize, two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, the Mountain and Plains Booksellers Association Regional Award, and a slew of other literary honors. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he lives with his wife.
