An Incomplete History of the American West: Stories - Paperback

by Gabriel Urza (Author)

An Incomplete History of the American West is a striking collection of twelve interconnected short stories that span 150 years across the stark, haunting landscape of the Great Basin. Moving chronologically through time, each story acts like a literary historical marker--pausing along the timeline to reveal a moment, a voice, a reckoning.

Rooted in the traditions of Western literature but unafraid to challenge them, author Gabriel Urza brings a fresh and unflinching perspective to stories that span race, class, and time. Unsentimental yet deeply humane, An Incomplete History of the American West asks readers to reconsider what the West truly means--and why the stories we tell about it still matter.
