Scott Phillips wrote THE ICE HARVEST (2000) and THE WALKAWAY
(2002), both of which are excellent and I highly recommend,
especially the first one if you like old Gold Medal paperback
originals. I was wondering today when his next book would be
out, and it turns out it just got released this month:
COTTONWOOD.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY's review of it begins, "Western epic, black
comedy and soft porn are cleverly spliced in this
genre-bending offering from Phillips, which relates the
experiences of Bill Ogden, sometime farmer, sometime
saloon-owner, sometime photographer in 1870s Kansas. Ogden,
27, is a self-taught Greek and Latin scholar and a sexual
libertine capable of seducing almost any woman he
encounters."
Have any of you rare birds read it yet? It sounds like he
didn't want to do a third HB/noir book--not that that'll stop
me from reading it, of course.
