The Western Lonesome Society by Robert Garner Mcbrearty

The Western Lonesome Society by Robert Garner Mcbrearty

In this hilarious, poignant, over-the-top Western, readers are introduced to Jim O'Brien who is writing a quixotic saga of his ancestors who grew up with a tribe of Comanche. As his grip on reality loosens, O'Brien weaves into his tale an RV trip through the soul of the west and includes a whole host of characters such as modern day stalkers, drug dealers, secret agents, strippers, a mad linguist, an imaginary- ther-apist, and Ernest Hemingway. Having been displaced, each of the char-acters must embark on the great American quest for a place to truly call home.

Robert Garner McBrearty's stories have been anthologized in the Pushcart Prize and widely published in leading literary journals, including North American Review, Missouri Review, New England Review, Narrative Magazine, StoryQuarterly, and Mississippi Review. He is the author of three critically-acclaimed short story collections, A Night at the Y, Episode -- stories from which won him the Sherwood Anderson Foundation Fiction Award -- and Let the Birds Drink in Peace; and a novella, The Western Lonesome Society.McBrearty's writing awards include a Pushcart Prize and fellowships to the Macdowell Colony and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts. His stories have been selected for performances at Stories on Stage in Denver, and at Arts and Letters Live at the Dallas Museum of Art. Other awards include fellowships to the MacDowell Colony, the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Mass., and a New Mexico State Arts Grant.
