Why it stands out
• Often considered one of the greatest American novels of the 20th century
• Not a traditional Western—it deconstructs the myth of the Old West, showing it as chaotic and merciless rather than heroic
• Challenges readers with its philosophical depth and moral ambiguity
It’s All’s Quiet on the Western Front, set in the American West, dates Apocalypse Now with a dash of Silence of the Lambs.

Ah yes, but a definite must read for necrophiles...

*Also good anecdote for any thoughts that “people these days are all f$&@ed up!”
Nothing new under the sun…
