Liar's Moon: a Long Story
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Plume Books
- Publish date: 08/01/2000
Description:
Philip Kimball is an authentic voice of the American west. With its mix of songs and laments, tall tales, history, and hearsay, Liar's Moon brings together the first-person stories of, among others, a young girl kidnapped by Indians in 1852, two toddlers who fell off a buckboard and were raised by coyotes, a pioneering black Mississippi sharecropper, and a young brave who believes he is invincible. Culminating in 1890 at Wounded Knee, Liar's Moon captures the quintessential American myth -- the closing of the frontier -- with uniquely American energy, diversity, and wit. Philip Caputo called Liar's Moon "an epic poem. If it fails to seize you from the first page on, then I suggest you've been watching too much television...Full of raw vitality and hopes of people seeking to slip the+ bonds of the past, of history itself".
