technicat reviewed In the Moon of Red Ponies by James Lee Burke
Entertaining, good writing, but not a feel-good cowboy story.
4 stars
This is the first work I've read from this author and it's a nice find. The prose is evocative in bringing out the hardscrabble midwestern environment (and also the sex scenes, but there's a bit of whiplash there as if alternating between noir and dear penthouse), and there is no shortage of antiheroes.
