Description

Drawing on contemporary accounts, period pictures, dime novels, and their own enormous account of sympathy and creativity, Michael Ondaatje's experienced book traces the famous outlaw's passing over the landscape of 1880 New Mexico and the collective subconscious of his nation. The Collected Works of Billy the Little One is just a synthesis of storytelling, fantasy, and history by way of a writer who gives us back once again to our common stories with a renewed sense of surprise.
