Kate Atkinson, Irish Times

The author of Stoner delivers something completely different but equally unique, skewering romantic notions of the Wild West with a brilliant, brutal tale of buffalo hunters that reverberates with understated power. Les mer

«His Stoner is the book that has garnered the attention, but I prefer this earlier take on the Western genre…it has some gory, visceral passages that are not for the faint-hearted»
Kate Atkinson, Irish Times

«Shorn of sentimentality or decoration, the events and places [Williams] describes begin to feel inescapable, permanent, and rivetingly dramatic. This is language that seems to be carved into stone – into mountains... Stoner showed us a writer who had written a great book. To those of us who didn't know already, Butcher's Crossing reveals John Williams to be more than that: forgotten writer as he was, he was unquestionably also a great one»
Archie Bland, Independent

«Superbly understated»
Rosemary Goring, Herald

«One of the finest books about the elusive nature of the West ever written… It’s a graceful and brutal story of isolated men gone haywire»
