Beskrivning
An Incomplete History of the American West is a striking collection of twelve interconnected short stories that span 150 years across the stark, haunting landscape of the Great Basin. Moving chronologically through time, each story acts like a literary historical marker—pausing along the timeline to reveal a moment, a voice, a reckoning. Rooted in the traditions of Western literature but unafraid to challenge them, author Gabriel Urza brings a fresh and unflinching perspective to stories that span race, class, and time. Unsentimental yet deeply humane, An Incomplete History of the American West asks readers to reconsider what the West truly means—and why the stories we tell about it still matter.

Recensioner i media

"Gabriel Urza is a master at his craft. He writes powerfully in the emerging genre of Postfrontier fiction, that is, writing that reimagines the American West. I love the structure of this book; it's formally innovative and audacious in its storytelling. The writing is deceptively simple—straightforward and unsentimental. As a writer myself, I'm in awe of Urza's scope of place. It has an avid curiosity about place, and our place in it." —Nina McConigley, author of How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder: A Novel"I've been looking for stories like these for years. Gabriel Urza's An Incomplete History of the American West is breathtaking, each story a snapshot of an always changing West. A West brutal in its infancy, lost between hope, greed, and racism in its adolescence, and wayward in its adulthood. Urza's stories are unstoppable and heaven for fans of Western Literature." —Willy Vlautin, author of The Horse, recipient of the 2025 Joyce Carol Oates Prize
