The Dying Grass
by William T. Vollmann
Buy on AmazonIn this novel about the 1877 clash between the U.S. Army and Nez Percé warriors who refused to give up tribal lands, Vollmann eschews standard punctuation and bounces dialogue among characters without so much as a ‘he said’ to help his reader. But, my God, the man can write. If it’s possible to craft an even-handed indictment of this nation, he has done it.
