Edward Gwynne's Reviews > The Bullet Swallower

An engaging experimental western with some magical realism thrown in for good measure that explores the impact of the actions of ones ancestors. It asks some great questions, is written very nicely with a deft touch of description and dialogue and there were some solid set pieces. I took a while to warm up to the style and the characters but after 60 or so pages I was immersed and invested. I also love how it is based on a real person, a relative of the author from the 19th century.
