Y’all. Whiskey When We’re Dry is one of the best westerns I’ve read in a long fucking time but the end is Devastating. Like the writing is right up there with Portis and McMurty and I want to recommend it to everyone but at the same time I just. Hated the ending. Even though it was realistic. Like I get it, from a narrative perspective. But I’m also just very
About it because I’m a slut for happy endings.
Anyway. If you want some excellent western prose about a kickass but flawed cross-dressing queer girl(?) and her various exploits in the 1880’s (warning for period-typical racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) and you don’t mind an unhappy ending, this is the story for you.
The Ancients, par John Larison (Viking, octobre 2024)
Dans des temps futurs, bien après que l’Humanité ait trouvé refuge près des pôles, une famille vivant en harmonie avec la nature se trouve malmenée et séparée par la fatalité et par l’expansion d’une société plus technologique.
Un roman imparfait, mais attachant, qui refait le récit de la domination des peuples premiers américains par notre civilisation avide et impérialiste.

Whiskey When We’re Dry by John Larison
“It is the burden of the survivor to wake up one day and discover in yourself a stranger.”

Book Review: Whiskey When We’re Dry by John Larison
It was interesting reading Whiskey When We’re Dry in relatively close proximity to Outlawed by Anna North. Outlawed is an amazing speculative Western that really shakes up the Western genre by tackling the patriarchy, gender roles/identity, race, religion, fertility, and medicine in a unique way. The protagonist is irresistible: a no-nonsense, determined heroine, who has the gumption to teach…

The night we bathed, Annette put her lips to my marks. Hot water streamed from us and her lips lingered upon my scars. "Who made you perfect?"

Whiskey When We’re Dry by John Larison
I don’t read (or watch) a lot of westerns, but I’ve mostly enjoyed this tale of an orphaned rancher who restyles herself as a man to strike off across the frontier in search of her last surviving kin and ultimately falls in love with another woman. I just think the narrative loses a little focus in the back half of the novel, and I wish author John Larison wouldn’t rely so heavily on colorful bigotry — racism including slurs, sexism, homophobia, and antisemitism — as a shorthand for the setting and the villainy of certain characters. I get the argument for historical accuracy, but it’s hard to appreciate this as a piece of escapism when those harsh realities of our present keep dropping in.
