The official book trailer of THE SISTERS BROTHERS by Patrick deWitt. With THE SISTERS BROTHERS, Patrick deWitt pays homage to the classic Western, transforming it into an unforgettable comic tour de force. Filled with a remarkable cast of characters--losers, cheaters, ne'er-do-wells from all stripes of life--and told by a complex and compelling narrator (Eli Sisters), it is a violent, lustful odyssey through the underworld of the 1850s frontier that beautifully captures the humor, melancholy, and grit of the Old West and two brothers bound by blood, violence, and love.

Had to read the book twice. Eli's insights are just as interesting as the narrative and characters.

this was the first book that I read where I didn't feel compelled to skip parts, and that means something from somebody who gets bored as fast as I do.
This guy has talent and I'm in love with this book! I'm on a quest for more of his works!

Just read it in one day. Couldn't put it down. Had me laughing out loud by myself one minute and then rereading lines 3 or 4 times just to savour them the next. Well worth the read.

Truly one hell of a good book. I've been recommending this bizarro Western to everyone I know.
