Sinossi
Meet Nat Love. Born a slave in Texas, he escapes a lynching and finds a mentor who trains him in shooting, riding, reading, writing and gardening. But the enemies of his youth pursue him, and soon he is on the run again... In the course of a tumultuous life, he becomes in turn a Buffalo Soldier, a bouncer, a ratcatcher, a sharpshooter, a dime-novel star, a friend to Wild Bill Hickock and a US Marshall. From Texas to Deadwood and back down south, he both dodges and courts violence, hoping one day to get his revenge. Featuring cowboys, Apaches, buffalo and much, much more, this is a mostly true tale of how the West was won from one of America's most original writers.

Recensione
Lansdale's tall tales are reminiscent of other western fiction from Thomas Berger's Little Big Man onwards but his original, blackly comic prose gives them new vigour. (The Sunday Times)
A rip-roaring tale completely in keeping with dime novel traditions and the cinematic hyperbole of Blazing Saddles or Django Unchained (Los Angeles Times)
A full-blooded western, served up unapologetically and masterfully...Lansdale is one of those very rare authors who can have his readers howling with laughter during one sentence while bringing tear to their eyes with the next. (BookReporter)
A sweeping Western epic...Lansdale at his funniest and most energetic, with some of the most engaging writing you'll read this year (Houston Chronicle)
Enough guns, glory and goofiness to keep you entertained (LitReactor)
Throughout Paradise Sky, Lansdale the master storyteller gives lessons in corralling point-of-view, tone, plot, irony, character development and just plain old good writing...may well prove to be Lansdale's best (Dallas News)
Speaking with stoicism and a relentless humour, he (Nat) is the perfect narrator for Lansdale's tale of injustice and ultimately hope. (Daily Express)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Nachdem Willie unverschuldet eine Einladung zum Lynchen erhält, stiehlt er ein Pferd und flieht. Er begibt sich unter den Schutz eines ehemaligen Soldaten namens Loving, der ihm Lesen und Schießen beibringt. Als er erneut fliehen muss, nimmt Willie den Namen Nat Love an und meldet sich im Norden freiwillig zur Armee. Er und ein anderer freigelassener Sklave sind kurz darauf die einzigen Überlebenden ihrer Einheit bei einem Apachenhinterhalt. Gemeinsam machen sie sich auf nach Deadwood, wo Nat sich in eine wunderschöne junge Frau verliebt, das Leben von Wild Bill Hickok rettet - und auf Rache an seinen Verfolgern sinnt.
