What Members Thought
Doesn’t quite measure up to The Searchers but still a good read. Brutal plot as Kiowas search for one of their own in the white man’s world. Le May gets inside of the white characters’ heads but makes no such attempt with the Indians and their motivations. I think maybe the limited narration hurt this story. Setting is Texas and beautifully painted with Le May’s prose. The violence is intense, reminding me of Guthrie, McCarthy and McMurtry.
