Sisters brothers, paperback/patrick dewitt

Longlisted for the 2011 Man Booker Prize, deWitts dazzlingly original second novel is a darkly funny, offbeat western about a reluctant assassin and his murderous brother.

The book pays homage to the classic Western, and is filled with a cast of losers, cheaters, and neer-do-wells from all walks of life.

It is a violent, lustful odyssey through the underworld of the 1850s frontier and boasts a rather fantastic jacket.
