Booker-prize winning author Michael Ondaatje invites you on a brutal, beautiful journey into the American West - and the life and death of its most infamous outlaw.
By the age of twenty-one, Billy the Kid had killed a man for each year he’d been alive. Then he was shot dead in the night by a man he once called a friend.
Drawing on contemporary accounts, period photographs, dime novels, and his own prodigious fund of empathy and imagination, Michael Ondaatje's visionary novel traces the legendary outlaw's passage across the blasted landscape of 1880 New Mexico and the collective unconscious of his country. The Collected Works of Billy the Kid is a virtuoso synthesis of storytelling, history, and myth by a writer who brings us back to our familiar legends with a renewed sense of wonder.
