"One of the year’s best works of fiction."
—Chicago Tribune
"Moving… Absorbing… Magnificently imagined."
—The Boston Globe
"Brilliant… A masterpiece… Charging Elk [is] one of the most resonant characters of our current literature."
—Star Tribune
"Ambitious, moving and altogether nourishing… Welch’s novel moves with sensual grace… A novel with an expansiveness of heart and mind, an intimate analogue of Indian estrangement worthy of any readerly voyage."
—Chicago Sun-Times
"Powerful… An engaging, pointed, heartfelt examination of culture clash and the debilitating effects of otherness."
—San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle
"Vivid [and] evocative… A story of survival… It’s a familiar story, but Welch takes the conceit one step further, creating a Wild West show of his own."
—Los Angeles Times Book Review
