Currently reading Haints Stay by Colin Winnette, a new release western
from Two Dollar Radio. So far I would say it is tonally related to the
Sisters Brothers, if you liked it you'll be inclined to like this one
too. We'll see what the second half brings.
There is an
explicit reference to The Searchers at one point and less explicitly
True Grit soon after (any character, regardless of how minor, named
Cogburn, in a western, has to be a True Grit reference, right?). There are
possibly other references that I'm not picking up on. Does make me
wonder my usual question after reading a modern western, does the author
read westerns? If so, which do they like.
