From The Legend of Colton H. Bryant by Alexandra Fuller:
"This is the story of Colton H. Bryant and of the land that grew him. And since this is Wyoming, this story is a western with a full cast of gun-toting boy heroes from the outskirts of town and city-shoddy villains from the head office. There is a runaway mustang and crafty broncos. There are men worn as driftwood and salted women and broken-hearted oil rigs. And in this story, the wind is more or less incessant and the light is distilled to its final brightness because of all the hundreds of miles it must cross to hit the great high plains. And the great high plains themselves, dry as the grave in these drought years, give more of an impression of open sea than of anything you could dig a spade into. A beautiful drowning dryness of oil."
It's amazing.
