Giddy-up, Canada! Coming this October 6th: Wild West by Mark Anthony Jarman—a virtuosic novel from a major Canadian talent, and the fourth book in Flying Books’ publishing program.

Jarman turns the Western expansion inside out, focusing the stark truth about the chaos and violence that swirled from Assiniboia to Montana in the late 1800s through the sensitive heart and mind of his unnamed narrator. Wild West is brutal and tender, honest and funny—a bona fide masterpiece by a writer whose work has won acclaim near (“One of Canada’s most accomplished prose stylists.” —Globe & Mail), far (“A Canadian master of the form.” —New York Times), and farther (“brilliant . . . extraordinary . . . something new” —A. S. Byatt, The Guardian).
