One of the rare books that isn't quite as good as the movie adaptation, maybe because there's more of a poetry and epic quality to Dominek's film. Both though are these visceral cries of despair. Maybe within a novel I just find that more suspicious, like Hansen is fetishizing the sadness of his American West.
