“I’ve thought of it as a few different things at a few different times, but now I’ve come to consider it simply a Western.”
- Patrick deWitt

Patrick deWitt is a Canadian writer, born in the twentieth century and writing his novels, now, in the twenty-first; his second book however, the Man Booker shortlisted The Sisters Brothers for those who have been living under a literary rock, is an entirely unique chronicle of blood, brotherhood and morality in gold rush-era American west.
