Bob Ross writes with an authenticity as poetic and unforgiving as
the Nebraska Sandhills themselves. The nine connected stories Billy
Above the Roofs paint an indelible portrait of the life and times
of one Billy Dixon in an era on the Great Plains not entirely
bygone. From the first line of the prologue, 'After Billy Dixon's
hilltop suicide,' which takes place as 'the sun's flat chin still
rested on the horizon,' to the end of this remarkable book, we
follow the protagonist to his death in the company of lovers and
the inhabitants of Turtle Lodge, Nebraska, on a bluff overlooking
the endless lands of the past.
