MUSTANG by Deanne Stillman
Just got my copy of Deanne Stillman's MUSTANG: The saga of the Wild horse in the American West (Houghton Mifflin).
Mustang has received great blurbs from Ian Frazier, Michael Blake (Dances with Wolves), Tony Hillerman, Samantha Dunn, John Fusco and Deena Metzger and that's just on the book jacket.
Stillman is one of the great narrative non-fiction prose stylists --- and with Hunter Thompson gone, that list just got shorter. Thompson, by the way, called Stillman's 29 Palms "a strange and brilliant story by an important American writer." -- and yes, Deanne is an old friend, and yes, I've tried to set up some movies with her -- but mostly we've been supportive of each other in this long haul called a writing career.
If you love horses, if you love great writing, if you care about the American West, you'll love Mustang -- that's my blurb without even reading the book yet.
