"The Englishman's Boy" is a stunning work, which deftly weaves two parallel, linked narratives--one set in the 19th century American West and another in extravagant, early Hollywood--into one spellbinding novel. The survivor's story, and its relation to a movie being made 50 years later, is the heart of this novel. A viscerally exciting book about history and our telling of it.

Seller's Description:
New York. 1997. September 1997. Picador. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0312168233. Winner Of The Governor General's Award For 1996. 336 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Eugene Kuo. keywords: Literature Canada. FROM THE PUBLISHER-THE ENGLISHMAN'S BOY brilliantly links together Hollywood in the 1920s with one of the bloodiest, most brutal events of the nineteenth-century Canadian West-the Cypress Hills Massacre. Vanderhaeghe's rendering of the stark, dramatic beauty of the western landscape and of Hollywood in its most extravagant era-with its visionaries, celebrities, and dreamers-provides vivid background for scenes of action, adventure, and intrigue. Richly textured, evocative of time and place, this is an unforgettable novel about power, greed, and the pull of dreams that has at its centre the haunting story of a young drifter-‘the Englishman's boy'-whose fate, ultimately, is a tragic one. inventory #24459.
