The Western: Four Classic Novels of the 1940s & 50s par Ron Hansen
The Western includes 4 novels well know to older readers who remember reading these novels. Each represent the old western stories the writers had heard from older participants whether they were true or not. The truth didn't really matter, it was the storytelling that made it interesting to read. 3 of the stories were later made into films such as John Wayne's "The Searchers." Those who love entertaining tales of the old west will enjoy these.
Often mistaken as 'a western', Clark's 1940 masterpiece is far from it. Although loosely disguised as a a western, it is really an in-depth study of the dichotomy between justice and vengeance. It also takes a hard look at mob rule and why people are so reluctant to behave as individuals at a time where much of the world was in the thrall of charismatic tyrants.
Now that I've thoroughly bored you with my literary critique of this excellent book, forget everything I said and just read it. You will be entertained and will come away from it a better person. Sorry, no gunfighters, though.
My thanks to the folks at the Catching up on Classics group for giving me the opportunity to read and discuss this and many other fine books.… (plus d'informations)

I found this book excruciatingly boring while I was reading it, but I have thought about it a lot in the last few months. I think that’s the mark of a work of some importance, though I still didn’t enjoy it much. It is not really a western even though it’s about a posse committing an extralegal killing. It is more of a philosophical novel about groupthink and ethics.
