Is there any other western novel that comes even close to the sheer quality of this?

I don't know, probably.

Even Louis L'amour's worst short story is better than this edgy filth.

I do not read American writers. It's one of my main literature rules. No Americans.

If there is someone dm me. Blood Meridian started me on a pipeline which has somehow got me reading The Monkey Wrench Gang, and I’ve just picked up a copy of Desert Solitaire to read next. Thinking about going to Utah just to see what it’s all about.

I don’t think there is but I think it’s one of the best novels ever written so there wouldn’t be. If you’d like, here’s a chart of /lit/‘s favorite westerns.

It have always been this way

Desert Solitaire is CM approved.

You can argue its western qualities but The Crossing is as good imo.
