Fiftieth Anniversary Edition Gunslinger is a fundamental American masterpiece.---Thomas McGuane This fiftieth anniversary edition commemorates Edward Dorns masterpiece, Gunslinger, a comic, anti-epic critique of American capitalism that still resonates today. Set in the American West, the Gunslinger, his talking horse Claude L vi-Strauss, a saloon madam named Lil, and the narrator called I set out in search of the billionaire Howard Hughes. As they travel along the Rio Grande to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, and finally on to Colorado, they are joined by a whole host of colorful characters: Dr. Jean Flamboyant, Kool Everything, and Taco Desoxin and his partner Tonto Pronto. During their adventures and hijinks, as captured in Dorns multilayered, absurd, and postmodern voice, they joke and smoke their way through debates about the meaning of existence. Put simply, Gunslinger is an American classic. In a new foreword Marjorie Perloff discusses Gunslingers continued relevance to contemporary politics. This new edition also includes a critical essay by Michael Davidson and Charles Olsons idiosyncratic Bibliography on America for Ed Dorn, which he wrote to provide guidance for Dorns study of, and writing about, the American West.About the Author:Edward Dorn (1929-1999) was one of the original voices of his generation.
