Review\nThe Power of the Dog is a masterpiece."-- "Larry Watson, author of Montana 1948 "\n"A fine novel...studded with fleeting insights, and reverberating for some time after it is laid down.-- "Chicago Tribune"\n"A taut and powerful novel."-- "Publishers Weekly"\n"Gripping and tense...a work of literary art."-- "Annie Proulx, New York Times bestselling author"\n"The finest single book I know about the modern West."-- "Hudson Review"\n"A pitch-perfect evocation of time and place" (Boston Globe) for fans of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain. This new edition, with an afterword by Annie Proulx, marks the return of one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in the literature of the American West.\nSet in 1920s Montana, this compelling domestic drama tells the story of two brothers -- and of the woman and young boy, mother and son, whose arrival on the brothers' ranch shatters an already tenuous peace. From the novel's startling first paragraph to its very last word, Thomas Savage's voice -- and the intense passion and cruelty of his characters -- holds readers in thrall.\nSoon to be a major Netflix film by Jane Campion, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst.
