Dog Run Moon
by Callan WinkIn the tradition of Richard Ford, Annie Proulx, and Kent Haruf comes a dazzling debut story collection by a young writer from the American West who has been published in The New Yorker, Granta, and The Best American Short Stories. A construction worker on the run from the shady local businessman whose dog he has stolen; a Custer's Last Stand reenactor engaged in a long-running affair with the Native American woman who slays him on the battlefield every year; a middle-aged high school janitor caught in a scary dispute over land and cattle with her former stepson: Callan Wink's characters are often confronted with predicaments few of us can imagine. But thanks to the humor and remarkable empathy of this supremely gifted writer, the nine stories gathered in Dog Run Moon are universally transporting and resonant. Set mostly in Montana and Wyoming, near the borders of Yellowstone National Park, this revelatory collection combines unforgettable insight into the fierce beauty of the West with a powerful understanding of human beings. Tender, frequently hilarious, and always electrifying, Dog Run Moon announces the arrival of a bold new talent writing deep in the American grain. Advance praise for Dog Run Moon "The perils of work and the weight of bequeathal fuel these stories, and each one holds a lasting, unshakable image. Sometimes grace is bestowed upon the characters in a sidewindering, not altogether fabulous fashion; sometimes it's not bestowed at all. Callan Wink seems to know well the stratagems and delusions of men's hearts. He also seems born and bred to short-story mastery."--Joy Williams, author of The Visiting Privilege "Callan Wink's debut is impressive indeed. Fine, old-fashioned, rich and juicy fiction. Weeks later I'm still living with the characters."--Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall "Callan Wink's fresh, urgent stories have an energy and propulsion that set them well apart from the cerebral finger painting of so much literary fiction. Here is a writer with a great big horizon."--Thomas McGuane, author of Crow Fair "Callan Wink's stories remind me of expertly tied trout flies--beautifully crafted, true to reality, and barbed. What a fine young writer."--Ron Rash, author of Above the Waterfall"As in all the best collections, each and every story in Dog Run Moon sings in the essential registers of love and death, work and nature. Callan Wink has the wisdom to write only of the things that matter, and the talent to make these stories as fresh as the literary headwaters from which they come."--Smith Henderson, author of Fourth of July Creek"Myth and history color these highly satisfying fictions about the way men and women struggle to shape their lives."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Wink stakes his bold claim to Big Sky literary territory, the terrain of Thomas McGuane, Norman Maclean, and Jim Harrison. . . . A fly-fishing guide in Montana, Wink suffuses every page with his love of the land. No matter what their circumstances, he never condescends to his characters, who all suffer from longings that cause them to make decisions they don't quite understand. But through the transparency of his writing, at once delicate and brutally precise, the author gifts us with the wonderful feeling of knowing someone you've only met in a book."--Publishers WeeklyFrom the Hardcover edition.

Don Candinho o Las doce orejas
by Tomás De MattosUna novela lúcida y conmovedora, con la dinámica de las novelas de aventuras, pero que también es una profunda reflexión sobre la complejidad del alma humana. Como en las carnes, la ternura o la piedad son blanduras a las que el implacable cuchillo de la vida hiere y destroza con extrema facilidad. Basada en hechos reales, la historia comienza con un episodio de sangre ocurrido en Caraguatá, Tacuarembó, a fines del siglo XIX. El enfrentamiento entre dos comerciantes de la zona desencadena la violenta irrupción, en la casa de uno de ellos, de diecisiete delincuentes que lo roban, lo matan y violan a su mujer, quien como corolario quedará embarazada. El suegro de la víctima decide vengar el asesinato de su yerno y la afrenta sufrida por su hija. Asigna la tarea a su hijo Candinho, quien ayudado por Ignacio, un peón que es quizá su hermano, se ve obligado a buscar y ajusticiar a cada uno de los asesinos. Deberá además guardar las orejas derechas, las que serán enterradas junto a la tumba del cuñado como símbolo del deber cumplido.En el atrapante devenir de la novela, se van intercalando sutilezas en el vínculo de los personajes con su destino, en su relación con los demás y con la noción del deber. El vengador cumple con la tarea encomendada, sin dejar de cuestionarse los alcances éticos de una venganza que pide sangre sobre la sangre derramada.Una novela lúcida y conmovedora de Tomás de Mattos, con la dinámica de las novelas de aventuras, pero que también es una profunda reflexión sobre la complejidad del alma humana.

Donovan
by Elmer KeltonDonovan was supposed to be dead. The town of Dry Fork, southern Texas, had buried him years before when Uncle Joe Vickers had fired off both barrels of a shotgun into the vicious outlaw's face as he was escaping from jail. Now, Uncle Joe has been shot-in just the same way. And Judge Upshaw had found a noose hanging on his door. It looked as though Donovan was back-gunning for the people who had tracked him down and tried him. Sheriff Webb Matlock, a stern, quiet man, had more than one reason to find Donovan; Matlock was in love with the woman he had believed to be Donovan's widow; moreover, there were rumors that his hotheaded younger brother Sandy might have joined up with Donovan's gang. For his own peace of mind, and to protect the townspeople who had been threatened, Matlock decided to slip across the border, find Donovan in his Mexican hideout, and bring him back-or kill him.
