Cowboy Noir: Bruce Holbert Discusses his new Book Lonesome Animals

Join Bruce Holbert as he discusses and signs his new novel, Lonesome Animals, at Capitola Book Cafe. A story about how the West was truly won and lost, and how its powerful myth still pervades American culture today.

A starred review in Publishers Weekly hails Holbert as "a master storyteller of formidable skill." Lonesome Animals features on preferred reading lists of bookstores across the country.


Bruce Holbert's work has appeared in The Iowa Review, Hotel Amerika, Other Voices, The Antioch Review, Crab Creek Review, The West Wind Review, and Cairn. For more information about Bruce Holbert, please visit: www.bruceholbertbooks.com
