Ten Most Wanted: The New Western Literature

Ten Most Wanted revises the canon of western American literature, examining neglected works by black cowboys, polygamous Mormon wives, and orphan children in logging camps, as well as well-known but seemingly non-western works such as Ben Hur, Treasure Island, The Good Earth and David Lynch's Twin Peaks. This book is witty and accessible scholarship - a rewarding first step in the process to redefine western literature.
