'The Drop Edge of Yonder' by Rudy Wurlitzer ****
Based on the same story as the film 'Dead Man' starring Johnny Depp, 'The Drop Edge of Yonder' is a Western, tellingthe story of mountain-man, Zebulon Shook, on the run from the authorities during the San Franciscan Gold Rush. Shot in the heart early on in the novel he begins to question his own existence and whether he is dead or alive. Violent, funny and thoughtful ( and an easy read too) - if you liked Django Unchained then this could be for you.
