Patrick deWitt 
Sisters Brothers 

Hermann Kermit Warm is going to die: Eli and Charlie Sisters can be counted on for that. Though Eli has never shared his brothers penchant for whiskey and killing, hes never known anything else. On the road to Warms gold-mining claim outside San Francisco – and from the back of his long-suffering one-eyed horse – Eli struggles to make sense of his life without abandoning the job he’s sworn to do.Patrick De Witt, acclaimed author of Ablutions, doffs his hat to the classic Western, and then transforms it into a comic tour-de-force with an unforgettable narrative voice that captures all the absurdity, melancholy, and grit of the West – and of these two brothers, bound to each other by blood and scars and love.
