"Combining fact, folklore, and a shopworn twist of revisionist history, Meltzer's eccentric debut joins the legion of books about the legendary gunslinger Billy the Kid." -Publishers Weekly
"A satiric gloss on the post-WWII urban coming-of-age novels of Bellow and Roth, padded to book length with material drawn from a variety of exotic sources."
KirkusReviews
"This odd, bittersweet novel features troubles more complex than those The Kid ever had to face."
