West by Carys Davies


Reminiscent of John Steinbeck’s best work, West is a small-scale American epic that poetically explores destiny and empire, displacement, and rebirth. What initially seems to be a fairly typical Western proves to be much, much more, as satisfying narrative depths lurk beneath the surface of its familiar story. West is a monument to the possibilities of fiction—and it may very well be a masterpiece.
