A brutalized woman is left for dead. But dead is the one thing she
isn't. With a stolen horse and rifle, she escapes into the
mountains, and a small posse of her tormentors has to gear up and
give chase--whether to beg forgiveness or shut her up for good,
nobody knows. With detours through time, space and myth--not to
mention into the minds of a pack of philosophical mules--Pity the
Beast is a mind-melting feminist Western that pins a tale of sexual
violence and vengeance to a canvas as wide and strange as America
itself. It's a novel that turns our assumptions about the West,
masculinity, good and evil, and the very nature of storytelling
onto their heads, with an eye to the cosmic as well as the comic.
It urges us to write our stories anew--if we want to avoid becoming
beasts ourselves.
