The Collected Works of Billy the Kid
The Collected Works of Billy the Kid | Michael Ondaatje
6 posts | 10 read | 4 to read
Drawing on contemporary accounts, period photographs, dime novels, and his own prodigious fund of empathy and imagination, Michael Ondaatje's visionary novel traces the legendary outlaw's passage across the blasted landscape of 1880 New Mexico and the collective unconscious of his country. The Collected Works of Billy the Kid is a virtuoso synthesis of storytelling, history, and myth by a writer who brings us back to our familiar legends with a renewed sense of wonder.

BookInMyHands The author‘s stepdaughter is a regular at my library! Usually when people tell me about a family member who has written a book it‘s self-published (and good for them) but it was quite surprising when she told me his name. 6y

TheKidUpstairs @BookInMyHands that's awesome! He's a legend 👍 6y
TheKidUpstairs @Cinfhen yes, Warlight is his latest, and English Patient is his too. I haven't read either, as I find him hit and miss. But I love Billy the Kid, and

Part poetry, part prose, part newspaper articles. This was definitely a wild ride—all based on the real Billy the Kid and the stories (true or not) about him. A quick read and unique.

Another post for #WildWildWest
A perfect book for the #24in48 A brief, impressionistic, impressive lyrical narrative. Often reading like a prose poem.

#catchingup on #30daysofreadathon #day29 - #shortbook

Was spurred (heh) to read this by a sudden hankering for some docu-fiction.

TheKidUpstairs Read this one in University, and loved it. There's a particular image involving a chicken that always sticks in my head... 7y

Sorry for the poor cropping, took this picture just as I was leaving for work.

Never knew this dude was Canadian. Still looking for his interview book with Walter Murch.
