Descriere magazin:
By the author of The Homesman, now a major motion picture The
Shootist is John Bernard Books, a gunfighter at the turn of the twentieth century who must confront the greatest
Shootist of all: Death. Most men would end their days in bed or take their own lives, but a gunfighter has a third option, one that Books decides to exercise. He may choose his own executioner. As word spreads that the famous assassin has incurable cancer, an assortment of human vultures gathers to feast on the corpse-among them a gambler, a rustler, a clergyman, an undertaker, an old love, a reporter, even an admiring teenager. What follows is the last courageous act in Books\'s own legend. This classic, Spur Award-winning novel was chosen by the Western Writers of America as one of the best western novels ever written and was the inspiration for John Wayne\'s last great starring role in the acclaimed 1976 film adaptation. The Bison Books edition includes a new introduction by the author\'s son, Miles
Swarthout, in which he discusses his father\'s work and the making of the legendary film. A prolific writer in multiple genres,
Glendon Swarthout (1918-92) won the Owen Wister Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Western Writers of America and is now in their Hall of Fame. His novels include The Homesman and The Old Colts. Miles
Swarthout is the author of The Sergeant\'s Lady and the editor of
Glendon Swarthout\'s short story collection, Easterns and Westerns. He is also a screenwriter who adapted his father\'s book for the movie The
Shootist.
