"One of the finest books about the elusive nature of the West ever written...It's  a graceful and brutal story of isolated men gone haywire." --Time Out New York&#160;"Harsh  and relentless yet muted in tone, Butcher's Crossing paved the way for Cormac McCarthy.  It was perhaps the first and best revisionist western." --The New York Times Book  Review&#160;"One of the finest novels of the West ever to come out of the West."--The  Denver Post&ldquo;Butcher's Crossing is perhaps the finest western in literature. John Williams may have published only a few novels, but they were all just about perfect. Although the subject and story is much different than Williams's Stoner, Butcher's Crossing is equally beautiful, heartbreaking, and historically accurate." &mdash;Jeffrey J, Powell&rsquo;s City of Books blog"Williams didn't write much compared with some novelists, but everything  he did was exceedingly fine...it's a shame that he's not more often read today...But  it's great that at least two of his novels [Stoner, Butcher's Crossing] have found  their way back into print." --The Denver Post&#160;&ldquo;Reading John Williams&ndash;even to have  done so at the time these novels were written&ndash;is an exercise in nostalgia, a nostalgia  found also in writers like Willa Cather, for whom the West represented a lost redoubt  of intellectual dignity...It is tempting to say that Cather's tradition flagged because  the West has changed &ndash; it is no longer anybody's bildungsroman&ndash;but it is safer to  say that writers as talented and right-minded as John Williams are not naturally  plentiful.&rdquo; &ndash;New York Sun&#160;This story about the hunt of one of the last great buffalo  herds "becomes a young man's search for the integrity of his own being...The characters  are defined, the events lively, the place, the smells, the sounds right.  And the  prose is superb, a rarity in writing about the west.  More, John Williams."--The  Chicago Tribune&#160;"John Williams's unsparing novels express a highly qualified though  resilient optimism about our ability to salvage something of value from life's impossible  conditions.  Along with the necessary isolation of the artist, he conveys the sobering  if startled recognition--perhaps with his own career in mind--of the transitory triumph  of art."--Times Literary Supplement&#160;&ldquo;Butcher&rsquo;s Crossing dismantles the myth of the west, revealing a&#160;horror story about the grinding day to day of&#160;just surviving&hellip;[a] restrained and gorgeous lyricism&hellip;even in its softer moments it&#160;doesn&rsquo;t overdo anything, and the moral&#160;criticism is in the precision of the language, the now-famous simple and elegant Williams prose.&rdquo; &mdash;Bret Easton Ellis, The Guardian
