  • "A haunting novel of the American West about an accidental murder that springs from the best intentions. Stepping his horse through the lush, beaver-worked draw looking for stray cows, Mike Arans never imagined that, moments later, he'd find himself swinging a nylon loop around Merriweather Snipes and pulling until his neck snapped. Once Snipes was dead, Mike fished a notepad and a stub of pencil from his pocket, wrote "I did this," signed his name, and stuffed the note into Snipes's breast pocket. Then Mike rode to his house, stocked up on supplies, and rode due west. Fencing the Sky is the story of how circumstances spiral out of control, the story of gross indifference and avarice in the face of breathtaking beauty. Ultimately, James Galvin's novel is a book about violence and how it destroys lives when the land is at stake. This long-awaited lyrical first novel is nothing less than the story of the disappearance of the American West."@en
  • "Mike Arans était loin de s'imaginer qu'il était sur le point de tuer un homme. Même si cet homme représentait tout ce qu'il détestait. Son crime accompli, il confesse son acte sur un mot qu'il laisse sur le corps de sa victime et rentre chez lui. Il prépare quelques affaires et selle son cheval avant de s'enfuir vers les montagnes Rocheuses. Sitôt découvert, une chasse à l'homme s'organise."
