Ghost Town

Více o knize

Set in a dusty Western town, the story follows a nameless rider who becomes embroiled in classic Western escapades like gunfights and train robberies. Robert Coover reimagines the genre with a blend of humor and surrealism, drawing inspiration from legends like Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour while infusing the narrative with a unique comic energy. The novel explores themes of choice and desire, particularly in the rider's romantic dilemma between a saloon singer and a schoolmistress. It offers a vibrant, chaotic vision of the American West.
